hello all,

alas, i haven't yet found the solution via google or mozillazine.org. 
here's the problem...

> mozilla-gtk2 
No running window found.
>

and nothing else happens.  with firefox, it's even worse.  i don't even get
the error message.  just nada.

i suspect that it has something to do with fonts, because i added some font
packages at the same time as i portupgraded mozilla (which was working
previously).

hoping that someone will spot the problem rather than having to uninstall
and test each font package...

mozilla doesn't seem to build with debugging support by default, so i'm
going to try to rebuild it (yet again) and see if i can make anything of
the gdb info.

in the meantime, if anyone has a suggestion, i'm all ears.   :)


thanks!
