It is an object broker.  No I don't really know what that means.
Basically what it means is that whenever a gnome app wants an object,
they ask the gnome-name-server for it.

I think if you look for gnorba or corba on the web you should find
something. 

    Kevin> Could gnome-name-server be the source of the about problem?

Not your web browser problem.  That sounds like a general lack of
memory problem.  I have the same problem with 32 MB.  My solutions
include not running a resource intensive window manager (I use
blackbox) and monitoring the memory usage with the very cool program
wmmon.  When I see that memory is getting low, I get out of Netscape
asap.

Cheers,
Chris
