hi

I was curious; because the above was sounding strange to me.

I tried  both communicator4.05 and communicator4.5b2 , which I have at hand
(english versions on linux2.0).

I found out that

1) there is no such thing as a  "save options" button
 (by my checking, the options are saved as soon as you hit the OK button
  in the preferences frame; you cannot open any new window
  while that frame is open)

2) I cannot replicate the problem: settings are correctly saved
in the file and propagated to new windows or already existing ones

3) I have tried this only with  communicator4.5b2
 0) enable java
 1) load something where java is , let it running
 2) open the preferences , go to the 'advanced' section, and disable  java
 3) hit ok
 The browser saves the new settings, and it freezes for , like 60seconds:
 it doesnt even redraw the window if you iconize/deiconize it.
 When it recovers,     java is stopped.
