Subject: Problem with X... ( I think??? )

I've been trying to run a few programs lately and have been running into a bit 
of trouble and I'm not sure where the problem is.

I'm running NetBSD 1.3.2 on a Centris610 w/ full 040 processor, 36MB RAM.
Color X is up and running fine (Using Ken Nakata's OSFA color X server), 
although I usually display remotely on my other Mac using MI/X.
Most of the X programs I've run work fine, including xload, xosview, xfishtank.

I haven't been able to get Mozilla, Mosaic or WindowMaker to work though.
After trying the 1.3.1 precompiled binaries, I tried compiling both Mosaic and 
WindowMaker on my own machine.  I still get the errors listed below, then the 
application either quits, or hangs and must be killed.

The Mac68k-FAQ has a line about upgrading to a newer color X server to solve 
font errors, but does that hold if I'm using a server on another machine?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger

---------------New History Format---------------

Mosaic needs to update your history file to a new format
  which will enable links to expire after 30 days (see
  the resource 'Mosaic*urlExpired').

Your current history file will still exist and will not
  be modified. However, it will no longer be updated.
  Instead, the file '.mosaic-x-history' will be used.

Could not find a hotlit. Creating a new one.
