Swiftweasel + Crux theme = woe.

[Tonohono]

Finding a fix for this bug is secondary, my primary concern is if anyone else has experienced (or can reproduce) this strange bug.

Use the Crux theme entirely, or the Crux Controls and/or Window Border.
Run Swiftweasel
Attempt to view the browser's preferences.
Enjoy a frozen Swiftweasel.

And yes, I experience this issue only with Gutsy RC, not Feisty.

It's terribly slow*, yes, but it doesn't freeze! ;)

*about 1/3 of normal speed, and 100x more CPU usage :p

Why using swiftweasel ? To be more extremist than RM Stallman ? ;)

The only difference between firefox and swiftweasel are harder optimization flags. That's all ;)

...or a super advanced user... :-k:shock:
