Since upgrading to KDE 1.1 (which I did by uninstalling all of the KDE
1.0 rpms and then installing the 1.1 rpms in the order suggested in the
SDB) Netscape insists on opening its windows offset to the physical
screen, such that the top left corner is inset from the upper and left
screen edges, and the bottom and right edges of the window are off
screen. Maximising the window returns it to a sensible position wholly
within the screen display, but it's annoying to have to do that each
time I open it, and despite trying various ways to get it to learn its
position after I've positioned it where I want it, next time I start it,
it opens offset to the screen again. I've tried de and re-installing
Netscape, fiddling with the config files (/opt/netscape/Netscape.ad and
~/.netscape/preferences.js) but no matter what I do I can't seem to get
it to behave.
I've also noticed an error message in my logs that's only occurred since
installing KDE 1.1:
kdm[206]: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2)
Since man xrdb teels me that xrdb is responsible for setting various
screen parameters for use by applications, I'm guessing that perhaps the
two things might be connected.
The problem seems to be that $XBINDIR is an uninitialised variable on my
system, but in what file should I be setting it?
And if the two aren't connected, does anyone have any ideas how I can
force Netscape to do as it's told!
TIA,
Phil
