2002-04-24 Thread Kirk Strauser
filed two problem reports for this issue (#144074 and #144137) but both were summarily closed - I was told that this isn't a problem. I'm at a loss. I know from Google searches that other users have had identical problems with gconf, but I have yet to see a resolution. Any suggestions?

If your system is that low-end, then you can probably upgrade to a whole new computer for less than what you'd pay for RAM. I'd say that about 2 trips to your local plasma donation center can probably get you a used Celeron system with 128MB of RAM. -- Kirk Strauser -- To UN
