Hi,
Google-chrome has a builtin pdf editor.
But when I select a pdf document, for example from www.irs.gov, and edit
it, it acts as if it is editing it, but when I save it none of the
changes are there.
Anyone have this problem?

On my testing box, the ssh-agent gets started by settings in

but maybe I missed something?
