    Christopher,

    I have Mozilla 1.7.5 installed from a binary tarball I got directly from
    the Mozilla.org site. It is a GTK2 build.

    I see only one obvious imperfection in how my Mozilla renders this page:
    the "Search" button in the upper-left is misaligned w.r.t. the text
    field to which it presumably applies. It is shifted upward several
    pixesl--about one third of the button's and the field's height. Its
    horizontal placement appears correct--it abuts the text field on its
    right precisely.

    I see exactly the same thing in Firefox.

    This page appears to render perfectly in both Mozilla 1.7.5 and in
    Firefox.

    I cannot replicate this (mis-) behavior either in Mozilla or Firefox.

    I, too, am using x86 (32-bit) Linux. You could try getting the 1.7.5
    tarball. Installing won't interfere with anything else on your system
    (nor will it integrate with menus, say, or MIME or file-extension
    mappings), so you can easily experiment and then either toss it or make
    it your default browser, as I do.
