Which version of Netscape are you talking about?

Although I agree that the Netscape 3 preferences dialog box isn't
all that bad (I think that's what you're talking about) with the new
tree mode we should be able to emulate the Netscape 4 preferences
dialog! Now _that_ would be slick.

Jens; please, oh, please finish this code!
