Well I tried a little experiement and made a link from lestiff to
libXm.so.1.2 and two things happend:
1. The libnullplugin now loads (although I don't really know if it's
operational or not)
2. netscape-dynmotif crashed and burned.
I'm not even sure what the libnullplugin does exactly. From what I can
tell it has something to do with plugin updates and such?
