Two things: it appears that Xorg isn't multi-threaded, and that there is a problem. I don't know how to fix it. Does the problem happen with Konqureror or iceweasel as well or only with iceape? Do you need the all-in-one-mega-app approach of iceape or would Konq or iceweasel work for you? Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
