This is an interesting idea -- I suppose it could be 
Java/Javascript-related.  If this is the case, we'll still have problems 
with the public computers since changing the Preferences is blocked by 
Fortres and not all staff are able to get around it.  Even our computer 
tech person is not SUPPOSED to be able to get around Fortres (don't ask: 
it's politics, and another whole tangled issue) though in fact he does.
