Subject: fails to start w/o config with bogus Xlib error messages

Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: grave

Hello,

when I kill all mozilla-firefox and mozilla instanzes and wipe out the
.mozilla and .firefox directories, mozilla-firefox fails to start with
following message:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!

(firefox-bin:12546): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

This makes no sense. With strace -f, I see multiple openings of the
.Xauthority file and only after a while it simply breaks.

When I run "host +" and start FF once, then it does work after that,
even with "host -".

Regards,
Eduard.
