Thanks. surf and tabbed look useful. It'll take a while to figure out just how I can best use them. Now to figure out how to bind keytrokes or menu entries. I currently use xcfe, completely in dfault configuration. After coming as refugee from gnome and kde, I hesitate to cuddle up with a new DE and invest real effort into it. Is this a kind of refugee syndrome? never feeling I'm home any more? I guess I'm just ranting about the closing in of open software. -- hendrik > > > And speaking of bookmarks, each browser seems to jealously hang on to > > its bookmarks, unless perhaps another browser manages to sneak in like > > a thief and import them.
