When I ran Firefox on a newly installed Solaris machine, it spat out
a bunch of pango and gdk-pixbuf errors and then died with a segmentation
fault.  I believe the problem occurs when the the SFWgtk2 and SFWpango
packages are installed to an alternate root (i.e. from the miniroot
in this case), so that their postinstall scripts do not perform the
necessary setup.

I will work on a fix.
