problem with netscape and installed plug-ins
(I got no feedback on this one, I think it might not have gone
through. Reposting.)
Hi,
since I installed netscape with the (excelent) .deb package, instead
of by hand, as I was doing before, I had the extra benefit of having a
mumber of applications put as plug-ins for netscape, wich is great,
since I do not have to download many pdfs in order to read them. But
in life, "not everything is perfect", as I use to say, and I'm having
problems. Looks like in some pages, when some of these plug-ins are
"used", they do not behave well, and cause many many many many many
uncontrolled windows to bomb me screen, some of them tiny, many of
them with Xlib error messages, some of them about the inability to
access /dev/dsp (obvious why: I don't have a sound card).
The bottom line is that it comes that the only way out of that is
killing netscape, which also only will take the -9 signal as good
enough!
The only way to access this pages is "erasing" the plugins-list file
inside .netscape, and creating a empty one (else it recreates it).
I *think* this behavior has to do with the midi, but I'm not sure...
This is a page that causes such behavior:

Another thing that messes things up are some animations, like in the
titanic movie site (http://www.titanicmovie.com). The animations
that are shown do not look right, and some of them crash netscape.
In the end a list of my plug-ins. Does anyone know what can be causing
this? Insn't it correct to disable the sound plugins if the user does
not have a sound card?
Thanks a lot!
