A) I wouldn't bother to file a bug trying to get us to change how
   we build Mozilla. After all, Chris Blizzard, our package maintainer 
   has also been the primary maintainer for both the GTK+-1.2 and
   GTK+-2.0 widget implementations in Mozilla for the last several
   years. :-)

B) It wouldn't hurt to file a bug in Red Hat bugzilla complaining about
   the bookmark paste problem.
