I did indeed hijack the thread, only by accident, as I was multi-tasking
to the point of thrashing that day, and it was perhaps my first attempt
at a new thread here (though not on lists in general).

Since then, I have copied the email address, and sent a new email to the
list, apparently successfully. If that method is still hijacking a
thread, please let me know. (Although I don't know how it could, since
it is a totally new email, rather than one built off an earlier post.)

However, if this is still occurring, please let me know, and I will make
sure I find out what it takes to get a new thread going here. I will try
a new post before long, as soon as I have time to gather the version
info, etc. as I have recently started losing my window decoration under
Gnome/Compiz, but only for Firefox.
