Re: nautilus-mozilla troubles
I'm a Nautilus developer. Until *cough* today, I worked for Eazel. I've been
developing Nautilus (and related stuff) almost exclusively on Debian. I have
almost never run the packages, but I can tell you that Nautilus runs fine
for me when I build from CVS.

This is the error dialog that occurs in one of two case:
a) the component loads successfully but for some reason decides it can't
display the content that its being pointed at
b) the component fails to load.
I suspect the latter in this case. Sadly mozilla is a moving target.
Mozilla 0.9 came out a day or two before we shipped Nautilus 1.0.3 and our
initial testing indicated that it was source and binary compatible. It may
very well not be depending on how Nautilus and Mozilla were built. I suspect
that thats the issue you're running into here.

If you're running sid I would suggest grabbing the packages from there I had
positive reports.

One of my pet side projects is an alternative browser component for Nautilus
using the GtkHTML library - a port of a quite old version of the KHTML KDE
HTML renderer to Gtk. It works for me (tm) so I'll do a release (with debs
of course) sometime soon - possibly in the next couple of days. I seem to
have a bit of free time right now...

Thanks for your support. 1.0.3 also has a bunch of (what I consider) quite
cool features. The one that is most exciting for the unix geek in me is the
"Scripts Folder" feature. It defines a folder than you can put
shell/perl/python/whatever scripts in that are then accessible from a context
menu. So tigert has written some to do cool stuff like rotate images. You
just select a bunch of files, go <RightClick>/Scripts/Rotate and it runs the
script.
