[Sugar-devel] Gears in Browse

[Lucian Branescu]

Yes. I believe Gears tries to write its profile relative to where it
is installed. Since it is usually installed in Firefox's user profile,
it works in that case. I tried Sebastian's .rpm with and without root,
it only worked with root.

However, I view this as a minor problem, with Gears actually running
in Browse being much more important.
