Maybe this is related, maybe not (K6-2/350, kernel 2.2.x and potato seem to be common factors in this thread): I have an occasional X lockup. It was more prevalent when I was using icewm-gnome as my wm. I could get it to consistently happen after defining a menu entry for vmware (upon exit from

I am using Netscape glibc 4.61 right now, quite unstable (window closing stuff). I have the lastests gnome using apt-get from cybertrails.com, as well as enlightenment. I update/dist-upgrade almost daily. I don't use gnome/kde/enlightenment, even though I have them installed. I use WindowMaker.
