This almost works. Ctrl-F works fine. However, two major things do not quite
work yet:

1. The table of contents does not display in the "Contents" tab, either
initially or when viewing different parts of the document. This would usually
be the case (I'm attaching a screenshot of a working table of contents window
from my Parallels installation). A table of contents does appear in the *main*
window (i.e., the home page of the document), but I can no longer navigate
through the subdocuments manually via the "Contents" tab. (Manual navigation
via the "Contents" tab is the one thing that worked in the Wine native viewer.)

2. After a global search, I can select *one* passage to view from the results
of the search. However, I cannot select any other passages after that. In other
words, the search results links go dead after one selection.

Perhaps both of these issues are really just one issue, such as a navigation
problem via the tabs windows ("Contents", "Search")?

To respond to your question: I don't have a lot of CHM files to test, but I did
look at a few from an XP installation. Your technique usually allows a table of
contents to be displayed and navigation generally works. In some documents, in
the search window I can select from a list of keywords (if the document has
keywords defined). However, in global searches, I can only select one result
(as described above--I can't select any other results afterwards.
