--> After this step, please send me (hussein at xmlmind.com) ~/.xxe/preferences.properties. The users having this problem probably have usernames and/or passwords (containing spaces or character ':' ???) which have been incorrectly encoded in preferences.properties. If you don't want to do this, invent a username and a password which allows me to reproduce the problem. --> Also tell me if you use BASIC or DIGEST as your authentication scheme. --> Also tell me the name of your authentication prompt (your realm). Please do so very quickly because we are about to release v3.6.1 and would like to fix this intriguing bug in this release. > 3) We launch it again > This time, no way to access the WebDAV location.

This dialog box is always displayed once per session. --- PS: Your request, the simple one about the Home button, not the complex one about olinks, has been implemented in v3.6.1.
