Hmm. Probably a pipe dream, but I suppose the way to do it would be through the plugin API. Sounds hard. Perhaps customizing your window manager would be a workable alternative; if the window manager reserved a certain space for your editor, it would have the same overall effect, and also would apply to all of your programs, not just your web browser. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
