This is weird. Ubuntu/Debian does strange stuff here; the dllmap
should only map dll names, not full paths.

I'm not certain, but I think that GtkMozEmbed may require you to set
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to your Firefox directory too. MonoDevelop certainly
does this, which would propagate to child apps (e.g. when you run your
app from within MD).
