If a web page contains a quicktime movie link that has been set-up to loaunch
the quicktime player application rather then play in the browser, Chimera is
unabel to do this.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a web page with a quicktime movie link
2. Click on lunk and nothing happens - quicktime player does not load.


Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The Quicktime Player application should has launched and the movie player

The only solution I have is to launch the QuickTime player application, then
click on the link and the movie will play fine in the player.

Using the 2002-10-11-18 NB, I can't reproduce the issue as described. Reporter,
please try with the latest build. Tested under 10.2.1.

load the following web site 

http://www.yourmaclife.com/subpages/archives.html

can click on the speaker graphic which loads quicktime in the player, you will
find it does nothing unless QuickTime player is already open.

Testin IE and no problems - QT player open when you click on the speaker graphic

 loads the qt movie. Tested with 2002-10-12-04 under 10.2.1.
