To see this message window in action, apply the patch to cache.c, below. Rather than have cache.c set the status bar label, I pop up a message window. I think users might not notice the status bar, and wonder why Dillo didn't respond when they tried to visit (e.g.) an FTP URL.
IMHO it's better as it is - while the status bar might not be noticed, popping up a message window is extremely intrusive. My own preference for failure notification in a web browser is the sort of thing you get if you're using a proxy server - a web page telling you when, and what went wrong, and giving you the URI you were working on. -- Stephen Lewis slewis@paradise.net.nz
