Firefox comes included in the shiny new Ubuntu, has slightly different fonts (need to get used to that) and changes behaviour of mouse buttons. So you need that one to get FF to behave, and you need this link to get the buttons to work if they don’t.
Just so you know,
Hugo.
PS: That’s the second thing I spotted. First thing I spotted: be careful with your grub menu, do not go for the “3-way merge”. No biggies there, but resulting entries are funny (all ubuntu 8.04) :)
As you may remember, I am forced to use windows (for compatibility reasons) for a short while. One of the major annoyances (to me) is the lack of virtual desktops. Now, Microsoft has released a so-called “PowerToy” which enhances Windows XP with virtual desktops. Nice idea, but horribly slow. Being used to Ubuntu nowadays, I really love switching desktops all over the place. Plus, I use that to keep my task bar organised — not too many apps per desktop, but rather more desktops.
Well, a quick google uncovered the following gem: VirtuaWin. I’ve been using it for about 5 minutes now. It feels right at home, and WinXP now feels like Ubuntu with a weird theme. I love it :) (and that after 5 minutes ;)
As I am being forced to work in Windows again (man I miss virtual desktops!), I of course ran into problems with accented characters again (in mutt — I do get some mails in French :). Turns out that this time it was solved by telling PuTTy to translate as ISO-8859-1:1998 (Latin-1, West Europe). I’m pretty sure the world out there knew that already, but I didn’t :)
For the record, my shell is set to en_US.UTF8 (but setting PuTTy to UTF8 messes things up — don’t you just love consistency? :).
