Hi Jim,

I verified that Venkman works for me, though I did have to jump through
hoops to install it.  Points:

 * Open the extensions window with `M-x extensions'.  If Venkman was
   correctly installed, it will appear in the list in the extensions tab.

 * The "Download Now" button at
   <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/216> does not seem to
   work if you are not in Firefox.  (I complained to addons.mozilla.org
   about that.)  I obtained the xpi file instead from
   
<http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/216/addon-216-latest.xpi?src=addondetail>
   and installed it by directing conkeror to visit that file locally.

 * After you get it working, you will probably want to use the -batch
   command line option alongside the -venkman option to stop conkeror from
   opening a new conkeror window when you start venkman.
