Looks nice. Will this be in both moz and epiphany? You say it is in
Rawhide, can you please give me an URL for the RPM, so that I may
download it? If all works well, then I am considering to install this on
all the FC2 machines at the school i administer, and switch to epiphany
as default browser.

Epiphany and mozilla don't yet use it. Hopefully they'll be able to hack
it in for FC3 (I can't actually print from the rawhide epiphany right
now - I'd better go poke bugzilla and see if a bug's been filed). I
don't know how many packages are required for the new printing system
(I'm running a full rawhide system), but it would probably involve a lot
of GNOME-2.7.x and the hal/dbus stuff, which are pretty quick-moving
targets right now in rawhide. For the most part, things seem fairly
stable, but I don't know if it's worth just trying to grab that. If
you're able to run a test system, with all the brokenness that may
entail, I'd recommend installing fc3t1 on a system and grab all the
latest updates from rawhide using yum.
