Ah, sorry, i should have mentioned, i'm using 1.7b and some nightlies 
since 1.7b.  I've tried some that others have built, and i've built a 
few myself.  In all cases, the gtk2 versions have these problems, the 
gtk1 do not.

There are at least two ways to see what yours is built against.  Once is 
to go to the URL "about:buildconfig".  The other is to run ldd against 
the mozilla binary.
