With this version I found that the skin RPM is not compatible. So what I did was to upgrade the library only and left Xine at the original version which I use. So that the skins still work for this version. (With the new version it states that the version of skins are not compatible). So, from the previous version I use the 'clowdy' skin, which is much easier to see. Wolf -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
