Mozilla (well, Firebird) crashes during startup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the browser (as normal).
Actual Results:  
Crash (sig11), without so much as opening a window.


With the --debug switch and a backtrace, I found that the bug was an attempted
branch through zero from nsGNOMERegistry::Startup()
(uriloader/exthandler/unix/nsGNOMERegistry.cpp).

The fix is to check for gnomeLib == 0 in the above method and to return early
without initialising GNOME. (It is sufficient to place this check before the
call to _gnome_program_init.)

bryner, this should be yours, right?
