If cairo (and pixman, which I have as part of xorg) is not present, xulrunner and firefox will build their own versions.
But, as we have now established, when firefox is built on top of xulrunner, the switch is redundant. So, system-cairo is enabled in the xulrunner mozconfig and commented for firefoxi (doh!, these extraneous vowels will be the death of me). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
