[GIVE-UP] firefox segfault when tint2 started in openbox

Question

I've run into a little problem here. I am in the process of making myself feel at home with openbox, and would like to use tint2 with it.
However every time I maximize a firefox window while tint2 is running, I get a segfault (from firefox).
I am unsure where to look for the problem. Setting the margin in the openbox configuration doesn't seem to help? I have bottom margin of 100 right now, so the window isn't anywhere near tint2?
pypanel works fine, but is only shown across the two bottom monitors, which is not really what I am after.
My X setup uses the nvidia driver with 2 VGA cards and 4 monitors (2x2). I don't know if that could have an impact. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck bringing this desktop to work with the nouveau driver.
EDIT:
IT seems to be the nvidia driver that makes the problems. With nouveau it works. But that gives me another problem. I need to run the nvidia driver to be able to run all my monitors.
I give up for now. Maybe a future driver will be more cooperative. :-/

Thank you for clearing that up. I have another idea. There is a feature called accelerated scrolling in Firefox, however there are also modules that might be associated with malware. Options > Advanced > General > Smooth scrolling (uncheck this to test)
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/disinfection/5350 Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller]

[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus [http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/windows8.aspx#antivirus built-in] already.
