Friday I installed Chromium again because it would be nice to have a
browser to test in other than Firefox and Opera. It was installed using
portinstall -R chromium, which *appeared* to function properly.
However, trying to run chrome results in:

I recently was having problems with Firefox crashing, which appear to be
related to a requirement for semaphore support for Firefox after the
upgrade to the new version of GTK.
Anyway, this left me with a 7.4 kernel and a 7.2 world. Which I
understand is supposed to work.
However, this broke CU
And menus work in Firefox 3.6. I'll have to actually work with it for a
day tomorrow to see how it holds up, but I've tried a variety of things
and it seems to be playing nicely.
It looks like the solution was to rebuild the kernel with semaphore
support through P1003_1B_SEMAPHORES.
Thanks.

OK. This is still being a problem. I've removed Firefox 3.6 from my
system and installed Firefox 3.5. Use of menus doesn't cause 3.5 to
crash, but it sill has problems. On some web sites, the browser dumps

I don't think it's XORG for a couple of reasons:

working fine under xfce4 4.4
* problems don't
At this point, I guess I'm looking for recommendations on a window
