I tried to get help on the #firefox channel on IRC, but with no
luck. I also downgraded libgtk2.0-0 2.16.2-1 -> 2.16.1-2, libgtk2.0-bin
2.16.2-1 -> 2.16.1-2 and libgtk2.0-common 2.16.2-1 -> 2.16.1-2, but it
didn't help. It would be nice if we were at least able to identify
which library handles keyboard input for Mozilla and is thus
responsible for the breakage.
