    I "upgraded' navigator from vers 4.05 to vers 4.07 on a Linux 2.0.x
    system.  The exact navigator i downloaded was:
    navigator-v407-us.x86-unknown-linux2.0_libc5.tar.gz
    
    I set the 'advanced' settings, turning off java, javascript,
    stylesheets, autoinstall, and send-email-address-as-passwd.  I also set
    'do not accept or send cookies'.
    
    Then, while browsing i opened a new browser window by selecting "Navigator
    Window" from the file menu and it looked as if javascript had started
    working in the new window.
    
    I re-examined the advanced settings on the original window, and they were
    unchanged.  But when i looked at the settings in the new window i saw:
    
    Java: On
    Javascript: On
    Style Sheets: On
    Autoinstall: On
    Send Email addr...: On
    The cookies setting had not changed.
    
    This behavior does not happen with the corresponding 4.05 version of
    Navigator.
    
    Oh well,
    Bill
