If some of the otherwise optional component were missing, mozilla's GUI would comes out quite funky (missing various main toolbar sections like "Edit", "File") and/or unusable (mouse clicks do not respond when clicking the "Bookmarks"). To be able to use mozilla w/ minimum of extra overhead, i tried choosing some options (on FreeBSD 5.3-p17). Below is the usability table for some of the options ... Component Main Personal Mouse Keyboard Chosen Toolbar Toolbar Response Response ----------------------------------------------------------- none View, Go, Home, none none Bookmarks Bookmarks ----------------------------------------------------------- chatzilla ( -- as "none" -- ) ----------------------------------------------------------- inspector ( -- as "none" -- ) ---------------------------------------------------------- mail[0] normal[1] ( -- as "none" --) some: "Quit" ----------------------------------------------------------- spell- ( -- as "none" -- ) checker[2] ----------------------------------------------------------- venkman ( -- as "none" -- ) ----------------------------------------------------------- inspector, ( -- as "mail" -- ) mail ----------------------------------------------------------- chatzilla, ( -- as "mail" -- ) mail ----------------------------------------------------------- venkman, ( -- as "mail" -- ) none mail ----------------------------------------------------------- chatzilla, ( -- completely just as expected[3] -- ) inspector, mail [0] Crashes after clicking various menu entries, buttons here & there. [1] All the menu entries were shown, "File" thru "Help" [2] Tried to quit mozilla via its own "Quit" function through the keyboard. Then tried to kill the window through fvwm function, X kind of hanged. After switching to console & killing mozilla from there, X went to being normal. [3] All the menu entries were shown; items of "Personal Toolbar" were recognized; mouse & key bindings were working just fine. It seems, from above that, at least "mail" component is needed to be able to have the right entries in the mail toolbar. Further, addition of both "chatzilla" & "inspector" allows the use of keyboard and the mouse. This mixture of components also enable the recognition of "Personal Toolbar" items. Would it not be reasonable then to limit OPTIONS to "spellchecker" and "venkman" only for "www/linux-mozilla" port? - Parv --
