I should have mentioned that my web searches for "Mozilla SDK" do all point to the xulrunner sdk. Is this the same package as our libxul in ports, or a totally different beast altogether? Could it be that the issues I've been seeing lie within the xul package itself? Frankly, dealing with the swt-devel port can be more than slightly bewildering. Sometimes I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew by accepting the request I received to assume maintainership of it after I had submitted a patch for it a while back. I could really use some help here, folks! :-) Thanks again. -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
