Netscape 9 Fires from Root File Mgr but Not From Desktop Icon ??....

Hi.

I have installed netscape 9 which works great. No errors. It just won't fire from the desktop icon.

So after weeks of searching how to change permissions on Netscape and start netscape etc, I came across A Blog That Explains How To Install NetScape 9 Here.

Besides the fact I am a little bit confused over what is written, It says to -RM and I am unsure if this is the right command or not ....

The idea here is to have non root access to start Netscape 9.

Just in case my Launch File looks like this :


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Netscape Navigator
GenericName=Netscape
Comment=Netscape Navigator
Type=Application
Categories=GTK;WebBrowser;Network
Exec=/usr/bin/navigator %u
Icon=/navigator/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false


Terminal:


steve@d.......:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk

bash: whereisnavigator: command not found
root@davidfr:/home/steve# whereis navigator
navigator: /usr/bin/navigator /usr/lib/navigator /usr/X11R6/bin/navigator /usr/bin/X11/navigator /usr/local/navigator /usr/share/navigator
root@david:/home/steve# ln -s /usr/local/navigator/navigator /usr/local/bin/navigator
root@dav:/home/steve# ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
root@david:/home/steve# /usr/local/navigator/plugins/
bash: /usr/local/navigator/plugins/: is a directory
root@davidfr:/home/steve#





I have also tried Exec=/navigator/navigator Which works fine w/ flock, IceApe, Firefox, galeon and Opera. {the %u is not necessary at all times and often works with out it too}

Dude. I am so stuck.

Help ?
