Aaron, is this still an issue for you?

Comment 4

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

No response, and it worked for me, so marking as such.

-> WORKSFORME.

Comment 5

[Aaron Solochek]

It still doesn't work for me, but since I'm using a debian package, I'm not sure
if you care, since it works in the official dist.

This indeed works in a mozilla.org Linux build.  The Debian package maintaners
typically apply a whole bunch of patches to their package for various reasons,
and as often as not, these break things.... so yes, we don't really care about
bugs that only show up in Debian packages, unless they show up in a vanilla tree
compiled with the same compile options.
