Hello

I've got Suse 9.1 installed, and have the latest Codeweaver Crossover
programs, which include the browser plugins. In Konqueror, I have the
file associations set for Quicktime Movie files to:

"/home/harry/cxoffice/bin/wine" --workdir "C://Program Files//QuickTime"
--check --cx-app "C://Program Files//QuickTime//QuickTimePlayer.exe"

which runs Quicktime perfectly if I click on a .mov file. But, with
Mozilla, it tries to run the xine plugin, gxineplugin.so, even though it
shows other Crossover Quicktime plugins after the gxine plugin in the
about:plugins screen. I went to the Apple trailer movie site, and it
tried to use Xine each time.

How does one disable a specific mime type from a plugin, or change the
order in which Mozilla choses them. Believe it or not, I tried re-naming
all the gxineplugin.so files to gxineplugin.so.bak just to see what would
happen, and it still shows up in about:plugins. That was strange. I
don't want to lose all of gxine's functionality as a plugin, as it works
fine for other stuff.

Anyone got any suggestions.

Harry
