Okay. I've submitted at: http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=772 I hope it's helpful! I'm noticing some more build errors related to linking with gdk as well. I hope to have another patch dealing with that at some point too. For reference here are the errors I'm encountering: ../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `gdk_screen_get_font_options_libgtk_only' ../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `gdk_screen_set_resolution_libgtk_only' ../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `gdk_screen_set_font_options_libgtk_only' ../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `gdk_screen_get_resolution_libgtk_only' > The only supported linux browser is Firefox.

Alas. :) I'm curious about what bits of Gears on Linux are currently unimplemented with NPAPI. Obviously it would be useful for some of the WebKit browsers which run on Linux (like Midori, etc). Would getting an incomplete NPAPI version of Gears/Linux compiling be the first step toward this? Thanks again, Martin
