Hmm, that's an interesting thought. I don't run KDE (I run IceWM), but I
often have Netscape crashes. But I'm running on a 1MB older video card
and only 32MB RAM and am always getting messages from Netscape about not
having enough resources (or memory?) to set color pallettes (or somesuch
-- I just ignore the messages now so I don't remember what they say). So
it may be that the people having crashes have fewer "resources" than the
people not having crashes.
