It's good to know the file dialogs are working. Those have caused me so much trouble in the past...

Offhand, I'm not sure why Dillo doesn't offer drive F: in the list. It should work in my latest FLTK build, although it's possible that Georg is using a different build. (I couldn't get his original FLTK sources to compile, so I ended up re-patching the code myself.)

By the way, the main difference between Georg's build and mine is he's added some IMHO rather questionable hacks to the network code, and removed some debugging information. He also uses a different configuration directory, for reasons I'm not entirely sure I understand. Otherwise they should be identical feature-wise.
