Galeon has very rudimentary support for using gtkhtml2 as renderer. You can click on links to navigate, but that's about it, no history, no cookies, no nothing, really. It was just a test to see if it was possible (Marco did plan to support different renderers originally, I think, but in practice no one cares about anything but gecko.) It's possible, but it would need quite a bit of work to get it even close to being useful, effort probably better spent on concentrating on gecko. -- Tommi Komulainen tommi komulainen iki fi GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
