YAFB - yet another Fredrik's Bingo!
It seems that tqh solved long-standing problem - inability to start Mozilla from script.
First catch was made by Simon, who noticed that this happened due removal of "exec" command from start script. BeZilla stopped to start, while other "unix" versions still started ok.
Next attempt of investigation happened with YT's POSIX guru Monsieur F.Revol aka mmu_man.
And final nail in the problem's coffin was hammered by Fredrik with his yet private nsDirectoryService patch!
Now Mozilla-beos-bone 1.8a5 starts from script as expected. So i really can start to transfer all my beos-specific patches one-by one in the new tree.
Honestly said, this process seems awfully neccessary, as i'm posting this from O3-optimized BeZilla 1.8a5, and it feels dog-slow for me, in comparisom with my own previous builds! :(
I even unsure if i should post it to BeZilla (not bleeding section of bebits). It is true milestone in mozilla.org sense, but i don't like, how it works.
Your opinion, buddies?
People reading this blog can get that build for estimation from here:

| | I already see quite a few new bugs. Should I wait for your patches to sync, or should I just start hammering b.m.o with bug reports?

I managed to break my Firefox's startup instead...
Nice to see that it worked, I havn't even checked out the Mozilla code yet. | From: | tigerdog |

I'm posting this using the 1.8a5 build from above. I've only used it for 15 minutes or so but already have a couple of comments:
- Scrolling crash under Dano is gone. Scrolling now works.
- I get the "unable to save preferences" message even though prefs are saved
- I'm unable to install new themes using the .xpi install (worked under 1.7 O3)
Thought you'd like some initial feedback. | From: | tqh |

This should probably be fixed by patch in bug 266327. | From: | tigerdog |

is there a way to tell which patches are applied to a given build (other than having the builder explicitly state what's included when he posts a build for testing)? I'm trying to be methodical about testing new versions and want to make sure I only note real problems, but not bugs with fixes that aren't included in a particular build.
BTW, the 1.7 O3 build seemed quite stable under R5.0.3+BONE.

This is what I noticed:
# Speed seems to be OK (using an AMD 2.2GHz)
# No scroll crash
# Bug: Mozilla menus are incorrectly displayed (there is a gap between the menu bar and the displayed meny)

I'm also seeing the menu bug Koki describes. In addition to the gap, the bottom of the menu dropdown is off the bottom of my screen (I run 1280x720, so I'm more likely to encounter issues like this. You might not see if you run 1024x768 or above).
