xlib6 and xlib6g are both version 3.3.1-2 which I believe is the
latest and greates from hamm. I keep my system right on the bleeding
edge...
I even tried reinstalling xlib6 just in case that helped. What
version of Netscape are you using? The above was from netscape
Communicator 4. I removed that and will try installing netscape 3
instead.
