Ok, good people, this is weird. I use the Netvibes portal that you can customise in a modular way. My problem is that at some point, when hovering my cursor over a news item, the triggered action has been stored somewhere in my system. In the middle of editing a Word document, or a Mail message, the dratted news story floats into view attached to my cursor like some ghostly apparition. I have quit all my browsers and reset them/cleared the caches. All to no avail: news of a train crash in Russia hoves into view once again randomly attached to the cursor. I need to clear some memory item somewhere, but any guesses where? I am running 10.4.11 on a Power PC G4. The browser was Camino. Any advice gratefully received.
