Hi!
Short description:
Firefox/Iceweasel is crashing on my PPC box with this error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:]~$ firefox
The application 'Gecko' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

Long description:
After my last update of my PPC/sid box, Firefox doesn't run anymore. When I
start Firefox, it opens a small window asking my whether to restore the old
session or use a new session. Even in that window, something is wrong. The
requester text is formatted wrongly: all text is formatted about the "start
new session" button, like as using just table row instead of the whole
possible width. Anyway...
After clicking on "new session" it crashes with the above error message.
When clicking on "restore session" something weird happened: all sessions
were there, but the font size was extremely high, like 200 or 300 pt or so.
The welcome screen of Squirrelmail didn't fit into my 1600x1200 screen,
maybe just the first two or three letters. When quitting firefox from this,
a next try to start and restore old session gives the same behaviour as
starting a new session.
Following the instructions of the pre-displayed text in reportbug, I tested
"MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox" as well. Firefox starts with this option, but
neither menu texts nor my toolbars are displayed anymore. So, useless too.
Instead of the menu texts there are small clickable dots that opens the
menus, but still without any text in it, just dots or favicons (in bookmarks
menu).
Unfortunately I can't reproduce this at all on my PowerBook G4, and it
doesn't look like anyone has stepped up to offer a "me too". Have you
tried moving your .mozilla directory out of the way?
Do you have any sort of unusual X configuration? Do you have any other
machine to try to reproduce it on? Can you run xhost + and try to run
iceweasel again and see if that makes a difference?
Next, firefox-dbg:

That's it....
Compiling Iceweasel with apt-get -b source iceweasel gives the same error,
so I doubt that this is caused by a broken buildd chroot.
I hope you can upload a working version again, soon.... :)

Ingo
