Hi,

i installed firefox-gdb now and i ran it within gdb, unfortunately the output is not very informative:

(gdb) run --sync
Starting program: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin --sync

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 118 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb) bt
No stack.
(gdb) quit

I have searched the Web a bit and found that someone has reported the same bug to the Debian Project already (Debian Bug #388169 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=388169), so i'm no the only one affected by this.

Regards
Andreas
