[SLUG] Mozilla growling softly at a naive user.


Hi, thanks for helping me get Mozilla up and running ! I managed to 'untar' it successfully but could never quite get past that step. I then downloaded the 0.7-10 rpm ... and it seemed to vanish somewhere. I switched from Gnome to KDE, configured it to large Lucidabright with the desert-red theme and when I looked at the menu ... there it was. It had installed itself and sat there growling softly. Was I anthropomorphising ?

The browser works fine (so far), but none of the popular themes have installed and I keep getting error messages on the Bash terminal:

eg. 'BeginDragThreadTree is not defined'
      'we don't handle eBorderStyle_close yet...please fix me' and
      'UpdateOfflineState'

I really like the Mail composer; I wrote a long letter to my brother in Germany including colours and accents but when it reached the lower border the whole thing crashed and I lost it all. The bash terminal showed a 'Segmentation problem'. The RHS slider had indicated that I had space left, and anyway, I was not aware that there may be restrictions.

My test messages arrived successfully but I cannot access new messages on the server. It is not clear to me where the 'get new messages' function is. When I use Search -> Search Mail/News Messages I get a dialog box with its right side - containing the 'search' button - off-screen and unable to be moved. I may also have a configuration problem with my full name rather than my user name popping up in 'Mail/News Account Settings'.

Apart from all of that, it is a great program. Jeff was right ... " pointing frantically at Mozilla" .
