I'm again seeing the problem after the libxml2 and gtk2 updates to 
unstable: iceweasel locks up when started from kdeinit (the start menu), 
but starts fine from a konsole window inside kde.

The problem occurs at a time when numerous iceweasel windows are coming up.

Still using vdpau and Radeon 3200HD with Linus' git head kernel.
