They will behave the same way because both use Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer as  
the display engine.  podbrowser is simply an another app that uses  
Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer.


In my quick tests, the status bar always showed the correct stuff, but  
i did see it seeming to ignore link clicks.  Gavin, any thoughts?

The line above that says "this will cause a warning if it's not a  
PodViewer".  *cough*  Why i commented it rather than doing an isa  
check is beyond me.

These are normal, because those things are not GObject subclasses.

Yow.  Well, this is where i realize that i've had the old and busted  
Gtk2::PodViewer on my system all this time, when the new hotness  
Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer is what we really want.

object_browser uses PodViewer to have pretty text display; it does not  
implement following the links (mostly because i'm too lazy to  
implement all the necessary navigation framework).
