I have sorted the Konquerer bug, and I hope eliminated any occurance of it 
with other browsers too.

The problem was caused by Konquerer sending the params in an unexpected 
order, ie sending the x & y co-ords before the command, rather than at the 
end.

The line that stripped the x=12&y=16 out of the command was this (on line 
~220 of http_server.pl):

            $get_arg =~ s/\&x=\d+\&y=\d+$//;

which wouldn't match $get_arg = 'x=8&y=20&select_cmd=Set_debug_to_http'. It 
was expecting a & at the beginning and it was also expecting the whole 
pattern to be at the end of the string.

I changed the regexp to this:

            $get_arg =~ s/&?x=\d+&y=\d+&?//;

So it will handle the x & y co-ords wherever they appear in the params. It 
works with Konquerer & also works with IE5.5 on Win98.
