I did that but no go:

Continuing.

This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable).  In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.

Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.

Apparently I'm missing something here..

Yeah, the same here. Everything else that I've tried "just works" but
mozilla is a pain in the *** with current. mplayer, scilab, octave,
abiword (with a visible cursor!) etcetc. just work. The only "big" problems
for me are mozilla, kde3 and gnome.

2.0 is going to be good :-)
