There are a couple of possible sources of the problem,  the flash plugin may be
one - having problems with remote displays, etc...  I think there may also be a
javascript bug in mozilla,  so we are going to scrape it out and start clean. 
But the $$$ work keeps pushing out the fun work. :( 

I will keep the list abreast of our findings.

Darn tootin'!  But he has his own host if he ever gets around to setting it up,
 albiet we still have a problem with getting sufficient electron flow to that
end of the house.  I won't physically stop him from running KDE,  there will
just be alot of snyde remarks about using shared libraries as a psuedo-component
architecture and how totally dumb and non-scalable that is.
