To be accurate, this thread originated with a posting entitled "'indirect 
routing' through Squid and Privoxy" by Frank Cox which you hijacked with a 
question "Lost toolbar in KDE, how do I get it back?", and which you 
subsequently re-hijacked with "Arranging icons on a desktop".

Alas, no one has yet given Frank any help. Not that I could -- my knowledge of 
squid is pretty much restricted to enjoying calamari in various Italian 
restaurants.
