[OLUG] Bookmarks are magically updating

[Marc Davis]

Well, this is hardly the words of wisdom category, but I can answer one
of your questions, FWIW:

	Yep.  It happens to me, too.  It's not constant by any means, happens
only occasionally, and seems to occur following some other of the
perpetual Netscape hissy fits.
	When it starts up, it's far more frequent than you are reporting --
more like every three to five minutes rather than 30.  It hacks me off. 
It always goes away by logging out of my desktop (GNOME), and usually
(but not invariably) stops when I simply close and relaunch the
browser.  This is on Red Hat 6.1, October Gnome (with various updated
components), Communicator 4.7.
	The message I get is "bookmarks have changed on disk and are being
reloaded."  

I can't wait for Mozilla or Opera or *something*.  M12 is encouraging .
