Thanks.
Problem is this:
now that I have a dead mozilla process in the background, netscape doesnt
want to run without manual interaction (when I run netscape as that user,
I'll have to manually kill a process that pops up because netscape saw a
mozilla process already "running"). It's not bad, but it gets kinda
messy after a while.
