  Grail is dog slow compared to other browsers, but that's a different 
problem from what David is seeing.
  David:  You need to make sure that Tkinter is installed.  Mandrake
packages it as "tkinter-..." if I recall correctly; you should be able 
to locate it on the mandrake CD-ROM or an ftp site, and install it
using "rpm -Uvh" (or something similar).
