Hi.
Does mozilla start up (despite the gtk warning) when you run it as
root? (The warning occurs when I run it as root on my machine, but
it does start up OK).
Assuming mozilla starts up for root, does it fail to start for you if
you try it on another workstation? If so, there could be something in
your mozilla profile triggering the problem. To test that, please try
renaming your .mozilla directory, and trying again to start it, e.g.:
mv $HOME/.mozilla $HOME/.mozilla-saved
<start mozilla>
It should create a new profile for you (converting any existing
netscape profile).
To revert to your original profile, make sure you have exited from
mozilla, then do:
rm -rf $HOME/.mozilla
mv $HOME/.mozilla-saved $HOME/.mozilla
