OK, here's the current situation.
First, I'm running Mozilla 1.7b untarred in my home directory from the
tarball. (BTW, 1.7 really *is* noticeably faster.)
Second, I've discovered that it does run fine IFF I start it from a
shell command line. However, when I use the Run menu or a launcher the
program starts, opens a window, and then immediately exits. This now
looks to me like an environment problem. Is there a log file somewhere
that might clue me in as to the problem?
