Well, you could run Xmacppc :p
Not really :)

I rather think the Emulate3Button stuff is either not properly 
configured or it's confused - you said you had to remap buttons? Maybe 
it can't cope with that.

That's strange. Here they work just fine. Check with xev - if the keys 
trigger the right events then it's not the Xserver's fault.

It will be useful to others I guess.

Yeah, it's great for reading docs, but it's severely lacking elsewhere.

I agree.

Konqueror works fine for me. If you have enough memory just let pkgsrc 
build it - preferrably over night, KDE code is full of templates and 
other things which slow the compiler down.

I've seen the same rendering errors in galeon, epiphany and Mozilla, 
although in different degrees. The gtk1 variants seem to be less badly 
screwed, firefox-gtk1 was sort of usable.

Too bad Opera for Linux/PowerPC doesn't work - the last few times I 
tried it hung right after drawing the main window.

have fun
