I've got mail :-) A kind user from the backports mailing list has replied to my SOS¹. Basically, the interesting part is that he has discovered that testing package for Icewasel suffers from the same thing (keeps busy cursor) so it's not something related to the backport package itself, but kinda /inherited/ issue :-). So let's hope they can get it fixed soon in "testing" and then backported again O:-). ¹ http://lists.backports.org/lurker-bpo/message/20100322.105428.19b69a66.en.html Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Something is causing Iceweasel to think it has not fully initialized and we've simply turned off the mechanism that allows it to tell us so. Am I understanding this correctly?
