[Bug 120781] Re: Firefox hangs on websites when using gecko-mediaplayer plug in/gnome-mediaplayer/mplayer

[tcv]

I had tried XFCE awhile back under GDM and that did not work. I will
endeavor to test it today under KDM.

I have also been reading like crazy on the subjects of display
managers, window managers and desktop environments. I have figured out
how to get KDM on my machine, switch to it, then try the different
desktop environments. I can confirm what you saw, Tomas, in regards to
KDM and Gnome, Fluxbox, and KDE.
