    Good news!

    I switched from Gnome to KDE and the problem of hanging Internet apps
    appears to be solved.

    I think Reuben was heading in the right direction. Another friend of
    mine speculated the following:

    "This isn't a bias against any desktop environment over another, but the
    apps you mentioned having a problem with are all Gnome apps... whereas,
    as you know, Konqueror is a KDE app. Perhaps all of those Gnome apps
    share use of an underlying library that doesn't like having only
    127.0.0.1 for an address and assumes (or takes a long time to time out)
    that you are on a LAN. Now that would certainly be a silly assumption...
    as is my assumption... but it makes some sense."

    Thanks for your input, gentlemen.

    Elmer
