-# installation:
-# 0. ensure the needed python packages are installed:
-# python2.5, python2.5-dbus, and python2.5-gtk2
-# 1. place this file in /home/user as browser-proxy.py
-# 2. make executable (chmod +x browser-proxy.py)
-# 3. change /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.osso_browser.service to read:
-# [D-BUS Service]
-# Name=com.nokia.osso_browser
-# Exec=/home/user/browser-proxy.py
-# 4. disable tablet-browser-service (aka browserd) (optional, saves memory)

-# notes:
-# - opening urls will be a bit slow. it takes some time to relay the messages to Tear
-# - modifications to the script may require the killing of an already-running
-# browser-proxy.py process -- just use 'kill' to stop it.
-# - modifying the osso_browser.service file prevents MicroB/browserd from working.
-# if you wish to restore MicroB/browserd, change the service file's contents back to:
-# [D-BUS Service]
-# Name=com.nokia.osso_browser
-# Exec=/usr/bin/browser
-# and re-enable tablet-browser-service again.
