I'm assuming you mean Ximian Gnome. I updated this morning.

Do you think? I'll jump on the "Mozilla is good" bandwagon and profess
that I uninstalled Netscape almost 6 months ago. I only use the browser,
and it's very fine.
As for Abiword, well, it's never crashed on me, but in the few documents
I've actually written with it, I had a lot of problems with the Styles
selection. Trying to change from a Heading style back to plain text
doesn't work.

Have you downloaded and installed any new mozilla themese? I had problems
with mozilla refusing to start at all. This was solved by deleting my
entire .mozilla directory. You might want to try doing that (but make a
backup first!)

*shrug* Haven't really run it. But, at least on my machine, it starts up
and looks exactly the same as it used to.
