I've been trying Phoenix builds from pre 0.4 and they're all crashing on
startup. I've removed my .phoenix dir, and installed in a clean dir, but the
problem remains. I briefly see a window with no contents, and then it
dissappears. There is no error message given on the commandline. I've tried
running with -ProfileManager too, but that crashes aswell.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run ./phoenix in phoenix directory.

Actual Results:  
Phoenix crashed with no error message.

Expected Results:  
Err, not crashed? ;)

You did not specify how new a build you have tried. Have you tried the nightly
builds at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/phoenix/nightly/2002-11-09-08-trunk/ ?

If not, please try those and report back what happens. Also, do you have some
GTK theme installed?

This is not a blocker.

It was a fairly recent build, but I've just tried that build and it done the
same. I did have a gtk theme installed, so I moved the .gtkrc and now it works.
And now I've moved it back again it still seems to work. It's my own hack of a
theme so maybe something upset it, I'm not sure. Working now though, so I'll set
to worksforme.

With regards to being a blocker, when I filled the form in, blocker was defined
as stopping me using or developing mozilla. Since I couldn't even start it, I
assumed this was the correct option. Apologies if it wasn't.
