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.
