--- Comment #11 from Lawrence E Toal let02do@earthlink.net 2008-06-26 02:55:33 --- I'd like to confirm that what seems to be the same bug(s) is still present in wine-1.0.
1)Once a html help window is opened it cannot be closed without shutting down the application.
2)The opened window cannot be re-sized.
3)The window fails to render images in its viewbox.
4)In the app I maintain, while the "contents" are there "index" and "search" are not.
All these thing work well in XP.
In fact, that app appears to have a help call that freezes both wine and KDE. So far, that's only been "recoverable" by shutting down the X server with a ctl-alt-bksp and re-starting X. I'll try to gather more info on that one.
Let me also note that although everyone doesn't use Linux, KDE, and Kchmviewer, I do. So, thanks James. Kchmviewer renders *.chm quite nicely. Unfortunately, your workaround doesn't work on wine-1.0--help simply fails to launch. Too bad--it appears much nicer than throwing all that mozilla code at the problem.
For now I just keep a shortcut top Kchmviewer on the desktop.
