System name:		dit.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-5_10 9.1.15 (with mkserv)
Display type:		m

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?
	run mozilla, open bookmarks file and close it again

What's wrong:
	mozilla crashes with BadWindow error

More detail- this is consistently reproducible for me, across multiple users,
machines and architecture- choose "bookmarks -> manage bookmarks", then do
"file -> close" on the bookmark window that opens. mozilla crashes with the
following error:

Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 8329 error_code 3 request_code 15 minor_code 0

on Linux, or

X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  15 (X_QueryTree)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x6000197
  Serial number of failed request:  4555
  Current serial number in output stream:  4555

on Sun. Additionally, I then get problems when I try to rerun mozilla as
a different user on a machine where it just crashed:

"Can't create /var/tmp/Mozilla/factest- permission denied"

/var/tmp/Mozilla is owned by alexp (who ran it when it crashed), with perms
755. I'm not sure if this directory would have been deleted if alexp had 
quit normally.
