I just grabbed the latest ImageViewer (0.9i) and installed it in /LocalApps,  
logged out and back in.  That didn't change anything for me.

I tried what Stephen suggested: I didn't get those error messages in my  
console, nor did I see the images.

I *do* get the OmniWeb image on the home page.  But images on other pages don't  
seem to show in-line.  When I double-click on them (on the right side!),  
OmniWeb tells me "xxx bytes transferred", then says "transfer complete", but I  
don't get a save panel, or anything in /tmp, or any other trace I can find that  
anything reached my machine...

I'm running an NS Turbo with NS3.2.
