As said here and in the BTS several times before: On Debian SWT only
works with Mozilla. We tried it with Firefox and other browsers and
failed badly. On Ubuntu it works woth Firefox somehow. Ubuntu has a
slightly different version of Firefox.

We are working on a solution for this. But this needs some time to check
the technical issues.

BTW: Shaun: How does your wrist? Is it better? If so can you please
updated your SWT/Swing/etc. packages to use GCJ 4.1 instead of 4.0. We
want to remove 4.0 from the archive.


Cheers,
Michael
