I appreciate you and Wolfgang helping out here.
Clark: I tried it as root and it still crashes. I then tried
deleting .mozilla and starting again and I still have the same crash,
sigh!
Wolfgang:
rpm -q --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{distribution}\n' gtk2
gtk2-2.12.0-9.2-GNOME:STABLE / openSUSE_10.3
Any ideas on what I should try next?
Cheers,
Bob
