Bug Description
Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9.2
Problem:
Prism apps are not starting. Trying to start a prism app from a terminal e.g. prism-google-mail nothing happens, one or two seconds later the program closes without any message on the terminal.
After deleting the folder ~/.prism prism-google-mail starts normally, but after closing I have to delete the folder again to get it work.
After uninstalling gears everything works again normally.
xul-ext-gears, 0.5.36.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. This appears to be bug 518422, but affecting xulrunner and not Firefox. We'll get this fixes for Maverick and try to get an update in for Lucid. Please report any other issues you may find.
