Well, as long as the paste function works when Severn is released as 
gold, go for GTK 2.  My point is that this bug is a blocker and if it is 
not fixed with GTK 2 by release date, Mozilla should be released as 
built with GTK 1.2.  A browser where one cannot manage the bookmarks is 
a browser lacking an important feature.

Thanks for the info.
