That's totally normal there is nothing related to the extension
anywhere, since the upgrade did erase its traces. You might have
Fgupdater.G files in /usr/share/iceape/chrome and/or
/usr/lib/iceape/components, though. I was just describing what you
should do if you don't want this to happen again.

Oh, yes I can reproduce after pressing ctrl+shift+u. Some combinations
of characters produce some arabic-like characters, I guess this somehow
enables another input mode, which must be something gtk does in form
fields, I guess. This just means the Fgupdater.G is not catching the key
stroke anymore, since it's not active.
