I send this question last week to rt-devel and received no helpful
answer. This time I'm resending it with an explicit Cc to rt-users,
maybe some one on the -users lists can help me fix this problem. If I
don't find a solution till Monday next week, we'll drop webrt and have
to try rng, as my colleagues won't give me more time to get webrt
running. (And I really would like to use webrt as I know it and quite
like it. :)
