ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't help in such a case ?
Is this an official mozilla.org build or a midified build from SuSe ?

it's a offical mozilla.org build. First i tried with the version, which came 
with the SUSE-CD, after that i downloaded the latest version from mozilla, Both 
versions have the problem. 
I didn't try ctrl-alt-backspace. I'll do so, when i'm back at work and report 
the results here.
