1. Some common helper apps aren't configured when local netscape is
used. Looks like this is because preferences.js uses /mit/infoagents
paths for a few things including mailcap and mime.types, but the locker
isn't attached. Maybe the appropriate fix is to add infoagents to the
list in /var/athena/infoagents/arch/share/bin/netscape.adjusted:
common_lockers="acro graphics gnu outland swtools"
/bin/athena/attach -h -n -q $common_lockers
If you do something else like change preferences.js to point at the
local files in all cases, note that mailcap also contains
/mit/infoagents paths.
2. A first-time user will see an error message at launch:
cp: cannot access /var/athena/infoagents/www/netscape/bookmarks.html
Looks like that file doesn't get copied locally.
