Firefox locks up in KDE

[rakey]

I've had a problem with a new Gentoo install that I can't figure out. Basically, whenever I launch Firefox (I launch it from KDE's konsole using 'firefox'), my mouse locks up, and from the looks of it, the entire KDE desktop locks up, and the only way I can fix it is by doing ctrl-alt-backspace (killing X).

I've tried this with both FF 1.5 and 2.0, with the same results.

I'm running KDE (base, meta) 3.5.

Anyone have the same problem and a solution?

Thanks, rake.
