forwarding X from dante

Not specific to this situation, but sometimes Netscape will just stop 
accepting keyboard input.  This will sound really strange, but it works 
on every instance of netscape that I've tried it on, maybe it'll work 
here.

Go to File->Open Location.  Then just close the windows that pops up. 
My theory is that the Motif widgets just get frozen somehow and once you 
bring up a window that somehow forces a relinking to the keyboard it 
clears up; I don't know if that is really how it works though.
