[ale] Silencing netscape talkback

[Bob Toxen]

As those who use Netscrape, I mean, Netscape know, it now has a "talkback"
feature where it pops up a Window and demands that you answer personal
questions.  While this window has a "x" button, it is disabled.

Even exiting Netscrape leaves this damn thing around, requiring "kill".


However, doing the following as root will silence it forever:

     su root
     cd /usr/local/netscape/components/talkback
     mv talkback talkback.real
     cp /bin/echo talkback

Note that I normally use Opera, which has much better manners.

(Please lets not start a flame war on which is the better browser.)
