I haven't tried their last major release, since it's still alpha. I tried 
their previous stable release on Linux and it does a very poor job at 
rendering.

I agree. Reload should mean reload. And with all those no-cache headers I 
put in, it should _really_ mean reload. But read on...

Tavis, you are the man!  This works in Mozilla 0.9.x.

It's not a perfect world, but if I can hit Shift+click to really reload a 
page (instead of just pretending to!), then I can carry on with Linux. I 
almost contemplated a return to Windows. I reload all the time as I refine 
my web apps. I never realized how much until now.
