Hi,

	Lots of our users are having trouble when using firefox with SL5 with 
the NVidia drivers (both legacy and newer ones).

	Running firefox using /usr/bin/firefox --sync --no-xshm this error 
message was reported after mine crashed and disappeared from the desktop:

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
   (Details: serial 22989464 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)

has anyone seen this before/know how to fix it?
