that's correct; paths that are not reachable over the network are not ok if the widget is expected to be able to work over the network at all. one way to work around this would be to implement a system that lets one open files using KIO via either the DataEngine or AccessManager which would handle where to open the file from. but if this really is just to work around webkit not being able to access pixmap data, that's really something certainly can be worked around in the webkit script engine. > Perhaps a note in the help text that the URLs are only valid if the applet > and engine are running as the same user on the same machine? which means applets would need to check this, but to them the process is 100% transparent. -- Aaron J.
