Actually I meant panel/startbar/whatever menus.  So as long as the menu item
says "Web Browser" then a newbie knows what will be launched.  After all,
what is "Mozilla" supposed to mean to an 80-year-old who decided to buy her
first computer. :)

Then again, "what does 'GNOME' mean, and why does everything start with 'g'?"
I'm sure people will ask.. maybe I should remove the word GNOME from
everything too so as to avoid confusion.. maybe this is just a futile
exercise anyway, trying to bring Linux to the masses.  I hope not.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply it wasn't stable.  In fact I'm sure it's as
stable as any other recent browser.
