OK - but what changed to make this happen? I've been running this version of Mozilla since installing MDK9.1. Even after knowing what the solution was, GOOGLE didn't provide much help. I did find one link where someone mentions having a **killall esd** icon to un-freeze Mozilla, but as I wrote, I would never have found that link if I didn't already know the solution (I GOOGLED for mozilla "killall esd" - that's cheating). BTW - as someone on the list correctly guessed, I use ALSA, so I have no idea why esd would have been called in the first place :-( > > Try esddsp mozilla and see if anything changes. No luck for me. I'll try that if the problem returns. So far, since running killall esd yesterday, the problem is gone. -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail (KDE 3.1) on LINUX Mandrake 9.1 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
