It could be that 'input type=hidden' is not supported. I wanted to test 
this but I am using khtml and forms in khtml don't really work. (And by
the time my back/forward-history was broken).

This is a design problem. The page is the result of a POST action, KFM
only
passes a URL to kedit (which then gets passed back to KFM). kedit has
not
enough information (e.g. the POST data) to request the page as currently 
shown by KFM.

Euhm... maybe. I am not really familair with the way frames are handled.

Netscape (4.5) eats up 61Mb (On my SparcStation with 128Mb) and takes
occasionaly
40% CPU time doing nothing noticable. But that is, of course, no reason
not
to look at the things it does right.
