I have used the script method. Its not bad and it takes affect across most apps you would run in Gnome. Which is nice benefit. If you are looking for that, do the script. However if you really only want it for your browser I would recommend installing the Google toolbar (presuming you run Firefox). The toolbar is smart enough to catch mail links and open the gmail compose window. As well you can strip it down to minimal features using the Options so that it is not an annoying presence on the browser. -Chris > -- > Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com > Life would be so much easier if only (3/2)^12=(2/1)^7. > > -- > KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org > http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie > -- KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
