Summary:                    Mozilla 1.4 page rendering issues after failed update
Description: 
I was updating mozilla on 8-25-2003 as part of a regular lunar update.  I
had initialized the update on a console screen, and  alt-F7'd back into X
to get back to work (browsing, etc.)  Eventually there was a point where
mozilla compiled and tried to install.  

In the 'make install' portion of the build, the install failed, because it
was not able to overwrite a file that was in use.  It was a library file
of some sort, but I cannot remember which, and the compile log has since
been overwritten.  Figuring that this was an easily remedied problem, I
closed all of my browser windows, and recompiled mozilla.  This compile
completed successfully, and I fired up mozilla (1.4) again.  

I was greeted with some very ugly page rendering issues. Since that time,
I have recompiled not only mozilla, but every package that mozilla depends
on, and the packages that those depend on, etc, all the way to the roots
of the dependancy tree.  Even after recompiling everything, I'm still
getting page rendering issues.  

Relevant information:
version = mozilla 1.4
video driver = NVIDIA (have tried NVIDIA_kernel/GLX)
kernel = 2.4.22 (have rolled back to 2.4.20)
gcc = gcc 3.2.3
