Anything with the word Lotus in it can't be good :-\ "Imagine a program used by 120 million people, of whom about 119m hate it." http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/feb/09/guardianweeklytechnologysection They are of course totally exaggerating here.

I had no problems with any of them like Darrell mentioned. Epiphany didn't crash but created a bug report when I closed it. I'll pass on Konquerer since I'm using Gnome.

Using opensuse 11.2 Firefox displays a gray box where the images should go unless another application takes the foreground then closes, in which case the gray box contains the part of the screen in the area of the box. It has to be one of the plugins using Quicktime that is screwing up but I don't know which one. Is this what you are using? http://patft.uspto.gov/ As I said Opera displays the images correctly and clearly and Konqueror displays them but kind of faint and fuzzy. -- Later, Darrell |
