   Thanks, Chris.  I'm having the same problem Jorgen's having with
Mozilla 1.6, and in 1.6.1 using pkgsrc, also.  ...interesting.  Could
it be that MOZILLA_USE_GTK2 is incorrect or something?  How did you
write the option?  ...and in one of the makefiles?  ...can't help but
wonder if it might have something to do with Composer crashing when
anything's entered in its editing window (or when one chooses "File"
and "Edit Page" from the browser), too.  Mozilla 1.6 was made with
the earlier GTK (1.2.10) here.

   Last week's GTK, BTW, had unparsed (m4?, autoconf213?), improperly
parsed or otherwise evil /usr/X11R6/include/gtk-1.2/gtk (and gdk)
files, which didn't allow gdk-pixbuf to make, which didn't allow
Mozilla to make.  That's fixed as of Saturday night (MST), but I
wonder if that could have left any lib trash around, somewhere.
...all a user's simple minded assumptions here, of course.
