I have only discovered a problem with accessing Gmail through Fluid since I updated to Snow Leopard. Safari 4 on SL isn't supported by Google Gears yet so I don't have it installed, therefore it's safe to say that this isn't the cause of the problem in my case.

If I launch Gmail from the application icon in dock/finder I have no trouble, I can even launch from Terminal without a hiccup!

The problem arises when trying to click on a mailto: link on a webpage. I have Gmail set as my default app for these links and the Fluid wrapped gmail app just sits on the loading screen with the top bar nearly but not quite full.

I have discovered that the problem is something to do with the URLs being passed to Gmail to display a different screen state from the normal one (in the case of mailto: to open a new compose message window and populate the to field with the address from the mailto link) if I remove the custom string appended to the URL then Gmail opens as usual.
