The binaries don't support jaunty, and the current source package is 7.10 from Ubuntu. Apparently this is an upgrade that hasn't gotten pushed through yet?

Yes, I just took a fresh apt-get source and compared its fresh mozilla directory with the one that unpacks from kompozer-0.8a4-src.tar. The diff is still running, man that's a humbling TON of code changes!!! (Makes me - single developer - feel very small!)

So no, 'apt-get source kompozer' gets you 7.10, and after building as you know, all pop-ups cause crash.

The upshot is that if I want to use it (my goal) then I must build it, get it working, and share any lessons
learned. It's only fair when using free software.

This I had read. And you are right, similar to 263441, except that it is all pop-ups.

Thanks for the pointer to the shipped config files. When I searched for them I must have put the name ".mozconf". Ooops, there was some reading I did not do! New to mozilla build. Apologies...

I followed your build instruction faithfully, and this time Jaunty rode high!! No pop-up crashes !!! Yippeee!
