Hi Mash,

  I haven't looked at tiddlywiki yet, but my guess is that this site has
some javascript UI code of its own that conflicts with conkeror.  With
many sites like that, (e.g. gmail), the site js can be disabled.  So
that is option 1.

  Option 2 is to write a page-mode for tiddlywiki.  There are several
good examples of page-modes in the conkeror source, modules/page-modes.

  I also want to mention that your method of altering your home page is
rather strange.  Just make a plain html document with your bookmarks,
and in your conkeror rc, put the following expression:

  homepage = "file:/path/to/bookmarks.html";
