Nope. :)

[seehund@maskintorsk seehund]$ rpm -qa | grep ximian
nautilus-devel-1.0.6-12.ximian.14
eel-1.0.2-6a.ximian.12
nautilus-1.0.6-12.ximian.14
nautilus-mozilla-1.0.6-12.ximian.14
eel-devel-1.0.2-6a.ximian.12

That's all I'm using from Ximian. My Mozilla 1.0.0 packages are from the
YDL 2.2 Contribs. No more of those damn "web page view failed" messages.

As far as I can remember today, I *guess* that other Nautilus packages
failed to build or use the Moz components because recent Mozilla builds
are installed in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.0. Maybe renaming/symlinking that
dir by removing the version number part would also work, but things are
finally working now, that's good enough for me. :)
