Dear Conkerors:
I am running an antique Conkeror (from 2008) under Windows XP. It
interfaces satisfactorily with my Emacs 22.3.1 running with Cygwin.
With the help of a friend, I have been trying to upgrade it. He
succeeded in downloading Conkeror 0.9.3 and Xulrunner 1.9 and getting
them to run. However:
1. He did not succeed in getting Emacs to communicate with it. My
present code for that purpose, in my ~/.emacs, is
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(setq
browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic
browse-url-generic-program "c:/conkeror/conkeror.exe")
(setq gnus-button-url 'browse-url-generic
browse-url-generic-program "c:/conkeror/conkeror.exe"
browse-url-browser-function gnus-button-url)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Adding ".lnk" to the filename does not do the job, and neither
does any of several strenuous workarounds that my friend tried.
Either nothing happens, or permission is refused. Changing the
permission in Cygwin makes the new Conkeror accessible from the
Cygwin shell and from Windows, but not from Emacs.
2. The scroll wheel on my trackball does not work. It works
everywhere else, including the old Conkeror.
3. Last & least: "g w ", possibly with an argument, summons Wikipedia
in the old Conkeror, but in the new one several more characters
and a CR are required. I gathered from chitchat on this list some
time ago that that convenience was deprecated and doomed, but for
my own use I would like it back. Is there an easy way to get it?
(I am glad to see that "g g " still gets me Google.)
I have reverted to the old Conkeror and will be grateful for any help
you can give.
Thank you for your attention.
