I have exactly the same problem.  I run Netscape 4.05 on Irix, and display it on a
Linux/Alpha box, and whenever I try to drag the current URL from the browser window
and drop it anywhere else (another Netscape window or the background or anywhere),
it crashes X.  (It doesn't log me out because I don't use xdm.)  The same happens
when I try to drag-and-drop bookmarks.

But then, I have an old (mid-June) XFree86 3.3.2.  Did anyone have this problem in
the past and then resolve it?

Thanks,
