Not exactly but I had to back down to Googleearth 4.2.0205.5730, built 
Nov. 13, 2007 on this CentOS-5, AMD XP 2600+ ATI Radeon 9000 box.  I 
removed the broken version using brute force, downloaded ver 4.2 at 
http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_2/GoogleEarthLinux.bin
and haven't looked back.
