You would think so, but an appropriate temp file is indeed created in
/tmp. This is why the error message is so perplexing.

Well, External Editor has NOT bailed. As I noted above, a temp file is
created. AND my edits are indeed saved back into Zope. Everything works
fine, but the error message appears nonetheless.

I have the application/x-zope-edit MIME type mapped to
/home/damon/bin/python/zopeedit.py. Same as in Mozilla and Opera.

It isn't. In fact, before launching Galeon on FreeBSD, I simply copied
over the ~/.galeon directory from my Red Had drive, whole cloth, to ~ on
my FreeBSD drive. Other than this one single glitch with External Editor
and Zope, everything works on FreeBSD/Galeon as it used to under Red
Hat/Galeon.

Same version exactly. Grrr.
