It sometimes happens by moving the window as well. Aha. And what are the apps and the interpreter doing when they freeze? What's the 'wchan' field in the output of 'ps axlwww' say when they're frozen?

Locking a window manager up isn't hard if the app loses its marbles; fvwm derivatives are very good at this. > Alex. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
