I just want to be the only one asking questions about this. Is this really a good idea? How safe is gtkhtml? I ask because there have been at least 5 viruses on Windows that I know of that exploit this exact same thing. Find exploit in Exporter, put file on disk, wait until somebody browses it, exploit. I think before something like this makes it into Gnome somebody needs to have this discussion. :) On Mon, 2004-02-23 at 06:29, Nadav Rotem wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to implement Nautilus html thumbs using gtkhtml.
