The problem is that mozilla m17 as shipped had a bug in an enum
declaration which caused this warning.  I sent Chris Blizzard a patch,
which made it into his M17 rpms, but not the M17 branch of mozilla.  It
also made it into the CVS head of mozilla.

Since we have -Werror turned on in the nautilus build, it causes your
build to fail.

So, you can configure nautilus with --disable-more-warnings, so that the
build doesnt fail.

Also, I would like to know who is the official maintainer of mozilla
packages for Debian, so that we can get this patch (and a bunch of
others) into them.

thanks
