It has to be environment then. Maybe it's my hardware or setup or
something. I see this problem all the time.

Please. Let's. I am about to give up on Mandrake Gnome and try
Ximian Gnome or something. It runs with none of these problems on my
(work) Red Hat machine.

True enough. It is probably more accurate to say "Gtk" applications.

I don't have another environment. I only use Gnome.

$ ls -l /etc/gtk/gtkrc ~/.gtkrc
ls: /etc/gtk/gtkrc: No such file or directory
ls: /home/brian/.gtkrc: No such file or directory

Yes, I provided that in a previous complaint. Here is what the
process is doing while it appears do be doing nothing (no UI updates
etc.):
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, NULL
If I move the mouse around in the UI window there is more output from
strace, so the app is alive, just not doing UI updates. Note that it
is only Mozilla and Pan that do this and they are both the only heavy
UI AND threaded apps.
I have this gut feeling that there is a ui/threading deadlock in glib
somewhere. Why I am the only one tickling it, I dunno.
Any ideas?
