Had to rebuild my main desktop box over the weekend due to a little
adventure with urpmi --auto-select with experimental sources defined. 
Fun for all the family!

Installed clean, then upgraded to kernel-2.6.3-16

Also did urpmi --auto-select with just the proxad official updates.

Things work nicely overall except...

1. Every time I close konqueror, I get a crash message - signal 11
(SIGSEGV)

2. Mozilla won't run at all - clicking on the icon just gets me a
starting block for a while.  Typing mozilla into a console acts like I
had just hit enter on a blank line.

3. Konsole functions normally except that the mouse is invisible when
over the area inside its window.

4. Firefox does this and dies:

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
  (Details: serial 1072 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0)

These all seem to point to X, which is why I have posted once rather
than four times.

Any clues out there?  The differences from my previous stable install
(pre-urpmi knockout blow) that I can think of are:

- kernel was -14 I think, but definitely a little earlier than -16
- xinerama was on as now, but the implementation was different.  i.e. I
now have two screens that function like one big screen, whereas before I
had two screens with individual backgrounds and kicker functional only
on one.  Again, this points to differences in X and/or KDE between
installs.

TIA
Brian
