I will double check this. Didn't occure to me, it's -p1 patch. Was too
late at night, sorry.

Might be difference between older (2.4 based) and new gnome-session. As
I noted, I have two builds: 2.4.x on Sol9 and 2.6beta on Linux. The
problems I had are from 2.4 based Sol build.

Never wrote anything about Garnome's fault.

I can't install newest Mozilla from Mandrake's RPM if I can't (won't)
use Cooker packages. So I have to rebuild Moz from sources.

I have mentioned this as other users might want to compile moz from
Garnome to let them know and that's all.

:) but mozilla is "a special case" in space eating, don't you think?
