Okay, ACK. > Thus, the > launcher script could add such a dummy argument when $MOZILLA_NEWTYPE > is not set. The question was, however, why use this launcher script at all? What's the use of it? What would break, if mozilla-launcher were dumped? Why add even more magic to something, which shouldn't even be there (anymore)? I realize, that "back then" such a script was required, as Mozilla 1.2 (?) would start the profile manager, if "mozilla" was run a 2nd time when mozilla was already running. But that's historic.
