 The search app just dies once its made the circuit of a page.  Open a
 new page and the search thing has to have its throat cut and be born
 again to start working again.

Press / and start typing your search string. It's been there since 3.4 (I
think) and is much faster than opening a dialog. It also loops back to
the start when it reaches the end of the page.

I agree that being able press F3 and use the same search string after
changing pages would be useful.

It has never cause a problem for me either. If you are worried, you could
Ctrl-Z the existing emerge before starting the new one, then restart the
original with fg.

 Since you are using kde, I suggest emerging x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt.  It 
 will give you a kcontrol applet for changing your gtk theme and also 
 install a theme that uses qt to render the gtk widgets.  Qt will use your 
 kde theme.

Thanks, I have some major emverging going for the next few hours but
will try that later.

Maybe you'll know about another method too.  I seem to recall having a
chrome* something file that set some of that stuff once upon a time.
Something I'd cadged off the net. Maybe it was for plain mozilla.

Anyway I don't see those kind of files under ~/.moziila anymore.  None
with `chrome' in the name at all.

You may be able to do the emerges in parallel, just make sure they aren't 
going to try and install the same package.  Sure, they'll both take 
longer, but if it's major emerging you might get to use gtk-engines-qt 
faster that way instead of waiting for the one you've already got going to 
finish.

Firefox has retain some of this.  I believe it's userchrome.js or something 
now.  With a simple 'equery f mozilla-firefox | grep -i chrome' I found 
some files that might be interesting under /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox.  
Those are probably global settings, there are also some chrome in my user 
directory that you can find with 'find ~/.mozilla -iname *chrome*'

 Anyway I don't see those kind of files under ~/.moziila anymore.  None
 with `chrome' in the name at all.

*shrug* I have some, but since I installed kde-3.5 I use the only browser 
for linux that passes the ACID 2 test.

Acid 2 test er ?

If you mean `konq'  I'd been trying to get used to it, but today I got
so irritated with that sorry search application I fired up firefox.

The search app just dies once its made the circuit of a page.  Open a
new page and the search thing has to have its throat cut and be born
again to start working again.  Great little time waster.  But on the
other hand its the only search app (on a browser) I've seen that
allows regex.

As luck would have it, a web page is one place I rarely need or want a
regex but I'd give up a child to have regex on google.
