Since I upgraded to 12, I've had nothing but problems with it. I tell firefox to use
Gxine my X goes South to login. Xine just stares back at me and dares me to just try
it buster, just try it--I don't, I'm too afraid. It's way beyond my skill level to
try to fix anythng anymore. I'm reduced to putting nuts on bolts and getting them
cross threaded.

I never have used the gxine plugin. All you have to do is delete it from
your plugins file.

I also do not use a common plugins file or Slack compiled Mozilla and
derivatives.

I just use stock tarballs from mozilla.org. I also build mplayer and use
mplayer-plugin with no problems at all.

However...on version 12 I had problems compiling mplayer. Finally I gave
up and just copied my precompiled versions built on 11 and dropped in
the plugin - It all worked perfectly.

Mplayer is a bit fickle about compiler and lib versions.

Realplayer 10 has never worked for me though. I use version 8 of that.
When I compile mplayer I disable the real codecs.

No, but there is a graphical version of Links. See the -g option in 'man
links' for more information.
