Package: luakit Version: 2010.08.30-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi!
Since the Luakit user-agent string does not contain any reference to Gecko (and maybe KHTML), the new Flickr website is not at all functional. Clicking on any of the buttons such as "Actions" or "Share This" just displays some moving Flickr logo balls, but doesn't do go anywhere. Similarly, the map on the geotagged photos doesn't "react" by autozooming when the mouse goes over. This is since their Javascript seems sensitive to the user-agent string. By adding a "KHTML (like Gecko)" reference, which shouldn't be too deprecating to Luakit, in my opinion, the problem goes away. A simple patch is attached. As always, feel free to overrule. ;-) Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Add a reference to KHTML and Gecko in the user-agent
Some websites, such as the new Flickr, seem to use Javascript
sensitive to the user-agent, which makes several essential aspects of
the website unusable. This patch merely adds a KHTML and Gecko
reference to satisfy those websites.
