This doesn't directly answer your question, but what I usually do is to never exit Mozilla. Since I use virtual desktops (the ctwm window manager, actually) screen real-estate is not a problem. I find that memory isn't a problem even on my home machine with just 256 MB (when swapped out it takes a bit longer to swap Mozilla in, but not 7 seconds). I also do the same for Emacs, for the same reason, and in days when I use OpenOffice, also OpenOffice. Unfortunately all these applications chose to go the "bloatware" path, which is causing these problems. Heck, even the OS themselves are bloatware. Some people never shut off their computer, just because booting the machine takes a few annoying minutes. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Sep 21 2004, 6 Tishri 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Committee: A group of people that keeps http://nadav.harel.org.il |minutes and wastes hours. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
