Before you purge/reinstall, try creating a new user (one without all your personal customizing) and try again. Purge/reinstall doesn't touch config files in the home directories. OTOH, for various reasons, I've given up on all the geko-based browsers (zilla/galeon/ice) and use Konqueror. It seems much more functional (getting things done) in addition to nicer configs and bookmark editor. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
