[CLUE-Tech] Ximian busted my browser...

[David Willson]

It seems I have a fix, although I'm not really sure what did it...
I switched to Enlightenment, more from nostalgia than anything else. 
Damn, this is a fine wm...  Then I was trying something similar to what
you said...  I got 'consider relinking' errors on 'galeon', both as me,
and as root, but 'galeon-bin' as root worked as expected.  I moved the
galeon script away and replaced it with a symbolic link to galeon-bin,
with 'ln -s /usr/bin/galeon-bin /usr/bin/galeon'.  Then I exited the su,
and clicked some links...  Whuhoo!  It's working.  I haven't tried
mozilla again, or gone back to sawfish yet.  We'll see what happens
then.
