OK, after uninstalling flashblock I had two pain-free days with no blank
windows.

Today I got tired of all the flash and re-installed a couple of hours
ago -- Bingo! now I have a blank window again.

So flashblock it is.

Also, I noted in my first post that I use pclos (an rpm-based, non-
debian-derived distro), so it has nothing to do with ubuntu repos.

Too bad, I'll have to find a replacement for that, but nice to have the
problem trouble-shot anyhow.

Thanks guys.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When entering some web pages (most notabily the Yahoo web based classic mail manager) a blank window appears (to be more precise, a  plain Frame with no components in java-swing terminology), then the tab where the page is open slows down and after some time - it could be just some seconds or a minute o two, firefox crashes.

It seems to be something realted with the IcedTea gcj plugin, but I can't confirm it yet. Ill try disabling it for a while. 

Here is the stderr produced during a faulty session. 

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04
