That's great. But even the Galeon people don't even consider 1.3.x ready for end users. It's just *WRONG* to ship it with 9.1 in main. If we were still months away from a release then that would be one thing. But it is more than clear that 1.3.x will not be ready for prime time before we ship. So it's time to move back to 1.2.8. As someone has already quoted earlier in the bugzilla discussion, from the Galeon news page: http://galeon.sourceforge.net/news/ >>>>> The 1.3.x branch is a development branch and not designed to replace 1.2.x for the typical user who wants a browser that works. Having said that, we're grateful for all the brave souls who try it out; we need your feedback to make galeon as good as possible! <<<<< So please explain to me what the logic is in shipping a browser that even the authors say isn't ready? > I thought you were talking about stability.

Since I can't stand to look at it I haven't run it long enough to find out if it doesn't crash on me. :) I have it on my PPC cooker install. But it's been having other issues with my airport so I haven't been using it much. > And what would that mean for Mozilla? No Xft? Shouldn't mean anything for Mozilla. 1.2.8 is compatable with the 1.3 version of Mozilla (which is also beta but hey I don't use it so what do I know about it)... I didn't say anything earlier because the 1.2.x series wasn't compatable with Moz 1.3 which would have required a rollback on that too... which I'm really not sure is in the same state. I didn't see the 1.2.8 release till I saw the emails on here. > But there is another issue. Is it not possible to have the GNOME Control > Center available in the menus in KDE (or other places)?

Which is yet another reason why this is not a usability improvement. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
