Fine then... who's gonna build a seperate "gecko" package and change galeon's requirements to needing gecko and not mozilla ?? ;-) My point was, he still needs mozilla *installed* and will be using *parts* of it with galeon. You may be exactly right about the memory leak being in a module that galeon doesn't use and if so, he'll be in good shape. Regards Hall
