Java applets and flash animations could possibly cause problems, since they might need a few seconds to initialize even after the page is fully loaded (and thus the "stop" button is already inactive). Of course, if the pages you load don't use java/flash this is not a problem; but there might be other pitfalls. For example, I've noticed that konqueror loads some complex pages in two or more "stages", with a brief pause (and the "stop" button inactive) between one stage and the next. You can check that by running something like while true; do dcop konqueror-8364 konqueror-mainwindow#1 actionIsEnabled stop; done ie, continuously checking the status of the "stop" button, and you'll see something like ... true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true true true ... true false before the page is fully loaded and the status eventually settles to "false". So, if the script runs the test during the short "false" interval, it might be fooled into thinking that the page has loaded. I have not investigated further the cause of this behavior (perhaps multiple-frame pages?), but these few facts alone should be enough to deserve extra attention and thorough testing before using the kludge. > Sheesh. A bloomin' genius is what you are :-) Thanks, glad you have at least a slightly better solution than before! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
