Comment 24 for bug 867424

There is really no good reason for this code to exist anymore. I ended up with libgnome installed as a dependency for another old program and my Firefox install started misbehaving as a (nearly untracable) sideeffect of that. It took me quite a while to figure out that a Firefox bug could be triggered as a result of installing an unrelated program.

The fact that I didn't have libgnome installed before, and everything was working just fine, is as much of an indication as any that this code needs to die.
