MozillaFirebird (the regular from source one, have not test with -cvs or -bin) crashes on startup when the gtk2 theme "Crux" is in use. The window appears and will stay until the mouse is moved into the window, afterwhich a crash occurs, no core file is created. Switching themes to "AquaLightBlue" has fixed the problem on my machine Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set gtk2 theme to "Crux" (I use "switch2" to do this) 2. start MozillaFirebird 3. move mouse into MozillaFirebird 4. occasionally you can get as far as a mouse click , but it will always crash within 15 sec. Actual Results: Crashed MozillaFirebird Expected Results: should have performed without crashing. For what its worth the WM is waimea. And I included me use vars.

I have been able to reproduce this same bug with Mozilla 1.4. Switching themes from Crux appears to solve the problem. But I like Crux :(
I can confirm this bug exists w/ Mozilla 1.4 as well. Switching from crux to a non-pixmap theme fixes it... on 2 separate machines.
It might be the crux gtk2 theme itself. It also cause evolution-1.4.x to segfault when you expunge a folder. I did try to debug it somewhere, but it is a tough one - it frees memory twice or use uninitialized memory (cannot remember). Also if you use it as the nautilus icon set, the 'nautilus folder icons' (especially the one of the 'open foler') corrupts.
It wouldn't surprise me if it is a bug in the crux theme. I've tried mozilla with other gtk2 pixmap themes (namely Grand Canyon and Smokey Blue) and they appear to work just fine.
1.6 doesn't seem to exhibit this behavior.
