[desktop-discuss] something clunky about sparc firefox and remote display

[dennis sexton]

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is because some program needed  it. The developers in my shop are always recommending to use it. I keep forgetting it is set  though. 

Unsetting  LD_LIBRARY_PATH changed the behavior but not the result. I now get this 
message.

he program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 14 error_code 16 request_code 160 minor_code 4)
  (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.)

I get the same message when I try /opt/sfw/bin/firefox --sync
