Description of problem:
I performed a fresh skipjack beta 2 install.  I configured system in the same
manner as I have my RH 7.2 setup on the same machine, but I experience frequent
mozilla browser crashes on skipjack beta 2.

Details: I setup skipjack beta 2 as follows, custom install, graphical login.  I
added a user account for my 3 year old son.  I setup GDM configurator to
automatically boot into the user account.  I left default setting, it boots into
GNOME desktop.  
I configured gnome to automatically start mozilla,
Programs->Settings->Session->Session Properties & Startup.  The mozilla home
page is set to www.nickjr.com.  I downloaded and installed the latest Macromedia
Flash 5 plugin.  

Mozilla appears to work fine for a while but will then crash, this happens on
other web sites as well, for instance this morning while I was using webmail.

Additional info:

I also have a problem where sometimes Nautilus starts up and sometimes it does
not.  When Nautilus does not start up I do not get desktop icons and also the
right click mouse functions do not seem to work.

I've seen this behavior in Nautilus in Red Hat 7.2 too.  I added this to my 
bash_profile script as a work-around for my end-users using Gnome on campus X 
Terminals. 
rm ~/.gnome/session 
rm ~/.gnome/session-options 
rm ~/.gnome/Background 
 
IMHO, Nautilus is currently too buggy for normal use.  I expect Gnome 2.0 
should be better though...

Regarding your Mozilla crashes, try downgrading to the Flash version included 
in Red Hat's netscape 4.7x package in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins.  The newest 
version from Macromedia's site is known to cause Mozilla to crash very often.
