I have this problem as well, but on my system it is not restricted to firefox. I see the problem in gaim, xcdroast, galeon, gimp, and a few others. I don't see the problem in mozilla, thunderbird, konquerer, gnome-terminal, and gedit. When I create a new user and try these applications, they appear to be okay for awhile, then they have the same problem. I'm running sid, linux-image-2.6.15-1, on a Thinkpad T40. I had assumed that I had damaged my system somehow and I was just about to try reinstalling. Aenoch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
