Hrmmm - I thought I posted this reply last night, but I guess not!

Anyway, Eric, thanks tons for all this. I spent awhile trying to get this to work yesterday without (full) success-- at the end of my efforts clicking on a Word document made the thing flash, but not load into Leafpad, though it did create the tmp.txt. I think you're right that the GTK libraries are needed to get the new Leafpad to work; it gives some error about pango-something.

Is it (relatively) safe to put your library set in? You say something in that package about what you need to keep in - does that mean one should manually delete the others?

And if I use FBReader instead, would you suggest editing the /usr/bin/fbreader.sh script to handle .docs as a special case, following the method you use with the run.sh script in leafpad, or what?

Thanks tons for writing this!
