[Bug 263441] Re: kompozer crashes in intrepid when opening the recent files menu

[oombas]

Hello Tim, Bruce and all,

Not only do I agree with Bruce and you, I would go further.
"They want it for free and they want it now and they want to sue the
community if it doesn't work 'out of the box'".
This is one of the few fora where I got (end get) serious answers to serious
questions.
That's wy I love it.
For me it is sufficient to be pointed to a direction, I didn't look earlier.
In 8.10, Kompozer works flawlessly, as is the smbclient.
Thanks to this forum.
Since then I can help others, who run into these problems.
So. let us not be discouraged by some annoying posts.

With kind regards to all of you.
