w00t Mozilla-firebird and GTK2 Evolution packages

[Nothinman]

in Debian sid. I'm not decided if I like firebird better than Galeon yet, but a GTK2 Evolution is definately a welcome change.

Yep, I was getting tired of evolution looking uglier then everything else

edit: now I'm waiting for the GTK2 OpenOffice packages.

Well after having Firebird crash one me a few times (almost always when dragging something somewhere, like trying to drag the home icon to the palette to remove it from the bar) I've started up Galeon again. Atleast if Galeon crashes it has the session restoration thing that reopens all of my tabs again.

Ethereal is now being built with GTK2 which means that I don't use any more ugly gtk 1.x packages

I've been using unofficial firebird packages for a long time and it works nicely.

Evolution, bah.

I don't know the reason (maybe it's gcc-3.3, it seems to be causing problems in a lot of other areas...) but firebird crashes pretty frequently compared to the Galeon CVS snapshots, infact the Galeon snapshots almost never crash on me.

I have been using firebird for quite some time now and it very seldom crashes on me.. could just be the different configs

Do you know what yours was compiled with? gcc-3.3 does some really wacky optimization things that can break things.

Evolution, bah.

Sorry, I like GUI mail clients. I've never found a cli mail client that has decent IMAP support, hell I barely found a decent GUI mail client with decent IMAP support.

Ah, well, I suppose I'm glad I don't use IMAP. I've been using mutt for quite some time and I like it alot. Also very handy to attach to my mail screen session from anywhere.

That's what I have IMP setup for.

I wonder if Mozilla will ever fix their damn search feature, now that I have GTK2, that's one of the major PITA's left.

I love Mozilla, but the search just abso-fscking-lutely sucks donkey balls :|

If you don't like their search you can install the Googlebar for Mozilla...works great. Googlebar

 

[Sunner]

Should have worded my post differently I guess.

I meant the find feature, as in "Find in this Page..."

 

[Andrew111]

The Googlebar doesn't just perform searches through Google...it also has a highlighter and it has a "Find in this Page" too.
