Try if the following settings works.

export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

When I installed Mandrake 10.1 the first time (using KDE 3.2)
I met similar problems too.  Everytime I launch firefox or firefox installer,
it crashed.

After changing GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE to xim,
it fixed automatically. :-)

Good Luck.
