I think until there is a new maintainer, nothing of this will get fixed anytime soon. :-( Sebastian This is a pity since slim suits my needs perfectly except from that. Anyway, I'm falling back to xdm, which does the job fine but lacks the eye-candy...

As for the x restart sending me back to console login prompt, i still have to investigate that.

[gentoo-user] firefox - thunderbird integration
Hi everyone! I've been recently trying to make firefox and thunderbird work well together, i.e 1. make mailto links from firefox launch thunderbird 2. make url from thunderbird open in firefox After following a well spread trick, (described here http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2005/01/firefox_and_thu.html) Doing (1) doesn't do anything at all. Doing (2) downloads the page as html to some temp folder, then opens it in firefox, but the images don't show correctly, certainly because they are not downloaded... Anyway that's not what i want. Any help would be greatly appreciated Peace.

The thing is , once again, that thunderbird does it's job of launching firefox, but the page that opens is a *downloaded *version such as file:///tmp/blabla.html where i would like it to open the url. btw, i've managed to fix the mailto problem, now firefox opens thunderbird just fine. I've did it the newbie way by going to the preference-Applications and adding a mailto entry. Though i'm sure that i already try doing that before, anyway...
