Doing an rpm -q --whatrequires mozilla shows that only galeon and mozilla-* packages depend on it. The "Web Browser" icon belongs to the htmlview package.
[given all the "integration", "bastardization", and "incompleteness" of the RH8 desktop]
I'd like the new features but I don't want to break things (esp not up2date).
Any opinions as to the safety (or benefit) of upgrading RH8 to Mozilla 1.2.1?
You could always stick Mozilla 1.2.1 in /usr/local, as I have, and it shouldn't break anything that depends on Mozilla 1.0.1. You can even make the "Web Browser" desktop icons point to it by placing the line
X11BROWSER=/usr/local/mozilla-1.2.1/mozilla
(or whatever the path to your mozilla is) in a file called /etc/htmlview.conf or ~/.htmlviewrc (depending on whether you want to make this system-wide or per-user).
(And galeon fans, you can use this very same trick to make galeon the default web browser, too.)
Hopefully, in 8.1, Red Hat will do something as clever as /usr/bin/htmlview for the standard e-mail client.
