It was a known problem, at least for many people, with earlier releases of
NS/2 4.6x (I sure wish they'd change version numbers so folks would know what
they were running). I had it myself, and there was a simple workaround.

It was, OTOH, a Netscape problem, not one caused by the Matrox drivers as Kris 
hypothesized.  He seems to have misinterpreted one offhand comment in Dani's
docs, and uses it to blame everything from Netscape bugs to Aids to drug abuse 
on the 'sucking Matrox drivers'.
