Whoops. In that case p'haps the debian mods are in the main mozilla
code. Sorry, I'm not sure beyond the fact that the copy of mozilla for
debian is modified to detect a running moz process and remote-operate it
instead of starting a new instance of mozilla.

Makes sense... though I don't get the woody upgrade issues. Whatever,
not my problem.

Yeah, so it seems - however they're usually a bastard to uninstall or
upgrade the system with, as several people on plug have found. Still,
anything could be better integrated than the default debian GNOME and
KDE desktops. I'm an IceWM user m'self and once IceWM has xinerama
wupport I'll be _set_.
No need for the fireproofing.
