I checked this out, too, after my earlier discovery re: streaming video. I get 
an error saying: "To use this application with Netscape, you must use a 4.7x 
or 7.1 version." 
I happen to be running Deer Park. Oh well - the original poster is right, 
though. One can up with any number of reasons why WM is not important for a 
Linux box, but, to be a truly competitive desktop for the masses, this issue 
will have to be solved. For my case, being able to play streaming WM is not 
about entertainment, it's about work. This is not intended as a criticism or 
complaint - if I were a programmer I'd jump in and help that project.
