Though this solution is better it is still inferior to KDE's dialog. For example when trying to open a pdf file with say xpdf, one has to give the path as /usr/bin/xpdf. The moment one enters /usr/bin/ disk grinding starts and firefox tries to load the entire /usr/bin into memory. I think this gnome(?) behaviour is hard coded into firefox and is tough to change. Someone please prove me wrong! I switched to Konqueror completely just because of this problem. hth raju -- http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/cornell-bazaar http://groups.google.com/group/cornell-bazaar/about -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
