Hello,

I was just wondering, do you use RH9?  Or , are you having trouble w/ 
Mozilla on several distro's?  The reason I ask is there's a known bug ( 
i beat my head against a wall off/on for about a week or so b4 
realizing) in RH gcc that they know about but wouldn't fix that prevents 
Moz running properly with Java.  The problem manifests in a couple 
ways.  I do agree about Moz ignoring the opportunity to make pluggin 
(java especially) mgmt easier.

Unviversally,
Shayne
