Midori crashing

Hi all. I'm regularly using Midori on old Hyundai laptop, but once installed it also on old Pentium III, when pointing it to any web address, it crashes down while on the terminal the following message appears: (midori:2863): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 408 was not found when attempting to remov

The job now is to get the out-bound authentication to work to the smtp server. One should use dpkg-configure exim4-config to set exim to use a smarthost for out-bound messages and rely on fetchmail for the incoming mail. Most of this is relatively easy and straight-forward except for one sm
