OK, so I finally fiddled around with Mozilla some more. This time, after
waiting a judicious period of time and verifying that the directory was
populated, I used an X server kill to kill the window telling me that the
profile conversion was in progress. Much to my surprise, Mozilla popped
up shortly after.
I then pulled up the preferences dialog to do some customization and
discovered that it refused to accept any key press events. It
understands mouse clicks just fine and deals with them properly, but
if I click in a text field, such as the home page field, no text
cursor appears and no text is entered if typed. If I highlight some
text and type, again, nothing happens--the text I highlighted should
be replaced with what I type, which is what Mozilla on my (non-Athena)
home machine does.
This behavior extends even to the certificate password dialogs--I am
unable to use WebSIS because of this problem. However, the problem
doesn't extend to the URL entry bar--that works fine.
System is a Sun Blade 100. Window manager is vtwm.gamma.
Why do I have so many problems with Mozilla on Athena? It certainly has
never given me this much trouble on my RedHat box at home! (Well, other
than a few strange crashes, but...)
