I have 2 RedHat systems and want to run INDEPENDENT copies of Mozill on each!
When I start MZ on system 1 with the display exported to system 2 a window comes
up just fine.
Then I try and run a local copy of MZ on system 2 to do e-mail but the mail
program is running on system 1??  I check ps -ef and sure enough there is NO MZ
program running on system 2!
System 1 is RH 7.2 and system 2 is RH 8.0.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.telnet system 1 from system 2
2.export DISPLAY=system2:0.0
3.mozilla
4.open xterm on system 2
5.export DISPLAY=system1:0.0
6.mozilla -mail
Error: folder structure is from system 1 NOT system 2???

This is actually a feature, not a bug.  Run mozilla-bin directly from the RPM
packages if you want to get a local new copy.
