Bug 475022

Description of problem:

When I try to view

  http://docs.python.org/library/zipfile.html

with firefox it crashes as I scroll down the page.  It says

QPixmap: Invalid pixmap parameters
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 52510 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.)
Locking assertion failure.  Backtrace:

I'm attaching a more detailed output from 'firefox -g -sync ...' and gdb.  Note from the gdb session trace that thread #8 cannot be queried (it generates a gdb internal error).  Oops!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libX11-1.1.4-1.fc9.x86_64
qt-x11-4.4.3-5.fc9.x86_64
gtk2-2.12.12-1.fc9.x86_64
libXrender-0.9.4-3.fc9.i386
libxcb-1.1-5.fc9.x86_64
glibc-2.8-8.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19.fc9.x86_64

(note that the firefox debug trace indicates references to the fglrx driver, but it is not installed on this system.)

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox

Additional info:

This is using a KDE desktop (should be obvious from the firefox traceback).
