  I hope someone files one quick.  I can't tell since it seems to affect
both Mozilla and Konqueror the same way.  If push comes to shove, I can
learn to navigate bugzilla using lynx.  The major upgrades today (besides
Mozilla) were XFree86, glibc, and the kernel.  The kernel doesn't seem to
matter since I tried the old one.  I also tried downgrading glibc to the
original beta2 versions with no effect.  Haven't tried XFree86 yet.
