The problem here is that the relevant code does explicit
dlopen() calls of various GNOME libraries, in order to
access functions called to invoke external URL handlers.
(In this case, it wants to call the handler for file:
URLs, which is nautilus by default).  The dlopen() fails
because its containing library does not have /usr/athena/lib
in its run path.  I will submit a patch to work around this,
by restoring the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable setting in
the firefox and mozilla builds.
