In mozilla Thunderbird 1.0, when I select edit-->preferences the window is smaller than the preference pane that it contains. There are no scroll bars and the window cannot be resized. I have tried reompiling my window manager and Thunderbird, which has not solved the problem. I am unable to edit various preference settings because of this. emerge --info: Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.2, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -pipe -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -fmerge-all-constants -maccumulate-outgoing-args -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -pipe -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -fmerge-all-constants -maccumulate-outgoing-args -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache confcache distcc distlocks fixpackages nostrip sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp:///ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirrors.acm.cs.rpi.edu/gentoo/ http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://adelie.polymtl.ca/ ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://www.gigaload.org/gentoo.org/ ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.llarian.net/ ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrored.ca/ http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j7 -l3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib adns alsa avi bitmap-fonts cdparanoia cdr crypt dga dvd dvdread encode flac foomaticdb fortran gif gpm gtk gtk2 java jpeg libcaca libwww mad mmx mmx2 motif mpeg ncurses nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline rtc sdl slang spell sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcltk theora tiff truetype unicode usb xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib"
