But just under E? It seems a little bit strange to me. I think I'll get
enlightenment 0.15 tonight and try it (been using 0.14). Like I said,
netscape didn't do this under window maker. It's real confusing. (Also,
it seems that I can use netscape under E, just so long as I don't do any
finds on huge pages. Real odd, IMO. Has anyone packaged a newish version
of mozilla? I'd like to see if it does the same things, but the version
in potato is too painful to run.
I think I also might try it again with top open to see what's going on
with RAM, there could be a leak in E possibly (after all, it is still in
development. :)
Thanks for the speculations.
