These problems are listed here, and for each, I give the way to remove it : Extension or wine version.



1) Running K-meleon on a wine version under 1.6 fails
=> Install of the needed dlls to upgrade a 1.4 wine version to 1.6. Have a look to this thread
=> Except Ubuntu 12.04 and before can have these problems. Wine in now 1.6 mini or 1.7

2) mailto links aren't working
=> tuxhelper is now included since K-Meleon 74.0 setup. Just use right-click instead of left-click.

3) Sendto (url, page, and text) don't work
=> tuxhelper is now included since K-Meleon 74.0 setup

4) Some wrong icons (bad transparency)
=> Solved since K-Meleon 75 RC2

5) Impossible to open a downloaded file
=> Install a tool named km-open. After some tests, I hope some guys will do, I will ask to Dorian to include it in K-Meleon setup.
Guenter has been able to make mimetype editor to work with K-Meleon 74, so I have packaged the extension which will be very helpfull for linux users.
Download it here and use it in conjunction with km-open.


6) It very difficult (about impossible) to move and set toolbars location
=> Solved since K-Meleon 75 RC2

7) Hiding toolbars doesn't work
=> Solved since K-Meleon 75 RC2

8) Resetting Zoom doesn't work to reset Zoom+ for image and texte (Ctrl +)
=> Waiting for Dorian answer

9) When browsing, URL bar seems empty, to see the content a click on the bar is needed
=> Not important, but a little disturbing when we don't know that
