Hi there,

100% agreed. I'm actually very happy about that because of following reasons:

I've saved a khtml checkout from the day where I started the khtml2 port,
plus I generated a baseline to compare against later on, when I am trying
to fix regressions in khtml2, once the time for that comes. Thought this
baseline already contained numerous of failing tests, which makes it
especially hard for me to see wheter a bug has already been there,
or wheter it was introduced by my kdom port.

So if you want to do me a favour please try to get it to _zero_ failing
tests again, so I can be sure that bugs - which will appear in khtml2 -
are my fault and haven't been in khtml HEAD. And yes, I am willing
to merge in every single patch and also run the regression testing, just
like Stephan proposed.

Happy hacking :-)

Bye
 Bye
  Niko
