No, never: it only happens with the web browser.

I haven't tried, I wouldn't well know how.

No, I haven't: but why is this important?

I woudn't know how to check that.

I wouldn't know how to check that, but the problem didn't use to occur in the
past, at least not so often and regularly, every day.

Before launching the browser, the command `free -m' gives something like:
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 216 154 62 0 6 61
-/+ buffers/cache: 85 130
Swap: 0 0 0
, whereas, when `mozilla' is running, it gives:
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 216 208 8 0 0 20
-/+ buffers/cache: 187 28
Swap: 0 0 0
Thanks for (I hope!) further help
Rodolfo
