[CLUE-Tech] Ximian busted my browser...

[David Willson]

Grant and all,

I did 'rm -rf ~/.mozilla' and as root 'rm -rf /tmp/*' and 'rm -rf
/tmp/.*' and restarted.  That, I would hope, would clear any cached
stuph.

I have tried launching from a gnome-terminal, from an xterm, and from
tty1.

Still nothing.  No window.  No feedback.  Any other ideas?
