Try using the libc5 version of netscape, it has been MUCH more stable on
my glibc2.1-based Debian potato system.

The wxPython people are talking about doing that. wxPython is a wrapper
around wxWindows, a cross-platform C++ GUI library that uses GTK on the
Linux side. Writing a GUI program in Linux and having it run with no
code changes on Windows is really cool. Check out the web site at
http://alldunn.com/wxPython and the list archives at
