Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
After my dist-upgrade today firefox wont start anymore, it crashes with
the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] firefox --sync
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 116 error_code 8 request_code 147 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Mozilla runs fine, so the Gecko engine (I assume) would not be the problem
in this case?
Thanks,
Roel

Okay, I'll close it; if you have some suggestion about how to improve
