Problem: Those evil patent encumbered GIFs are not working in my freshly installed galeon / mozilla installation. I assume that the Debian galeon is just not shipping support for GIF files since we all know the non-free nature of them. And in fact I did not notice for a long time. Except to say that ad banners were less visible. A nice benefit. However, I ran into one site where I really wanted to see a GIF there and noticed that I did not have it and now can't figure out how to enable them. I 'apt-get --purge remove' and then reinstalled a fresh copy of galeon and mozilla. I searched with 'apt-cache search'. I searched on google quite a bit. But so far have not hit upon any clues. I have another almost identical Debian installation with Galeon installed similarly and I _DO_ see GIFs on that installation. And comparing the packages installed on those two boxes have also not yielded anything that gave me a clue yet. Both are running galeon 1.2.5-0.woody.1. So I believe there must be some other difference. Any clues? I am sure I am missing something very simple. Thanks Bob
