On an X server without the XInputExtension extension, mozilla crashes with:
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "localhost:1.0".

[3]  + segmentation fault  mozilla
What mozilla build is this?  Is this the GTK port?

Mozilla on linux no longer uses XIE by default....
This is ver. 0.9.6 as currently on ftp.mozilla.org.

OK... Looks like XInputExtension and XIE are totally separate beasts.  Over to
XP Apps based on what XInputExtension seems to do (input devices), ccing pavlov
and blizzard who may know where this should really live.

Jacob, could you tell me how to start X server without the extension?
One way is to run xmove as a proxy X server.
ftp://ftp.cs.columbia.edu/pub/xmove/
Sorry for late evaluation. I can reproduce this today with xmove.
However, mozilla with xmove dumps core in gtk/gdk codes not in
Mozilla. Also very simple example that uses gtk_init() also
causes dump core. So I believe this is gtk/gdk problem.
