Then I get a nice pop-up telling me, for e.g., that the panel encontered = a problem blah and unfortunately the rest is now illegible and refuses to be re-drawn. This, I click the upper right X to close the = error pop-up and get quote "Error" is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the = application to quit entirely. [Wait] [Force Quit]. Great... [Force Quit] Now I only have a nice PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU = COMMAND 1655 bs 1 120 0 24680K 5024K CPU1 0 5:15 100.05% = bonobo-activation-s How the hell does this thing manage to eat 100% CPU when the manual = explains that it "reads files" ? Liars... Okay, so I killed that one as well. > Some processes SEGV on me straight away (abiword, some screen savers, = and others which I haven't the foggiest idea what they are supposed to = do). The number of *.core files I got since I started on GNOME simply = amazes me. Most of the screen savers SEGV on me. I'll go and disable them, shall I. Maybe that might get rid of most of the *core Also I will follow the FAQ's hints on device permissions etcetera and = see whether that improves things. There's just trivial stuff that baffles me, like the FAQ mentions ways of doing things to nautilus while = at the same time I have no clue what nautilus is (apart from being under the command of Captain Nemo, of course): man nautilus No manual entry for nautilus Horray for that... abiword still crashes; this is FreeBSD grimma 6.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE #12: Thu Jan 17 = 21:46:02 CET 2008 root@grimma:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GRIMMA amd64 and ports are up to date: abiword --version GNOME AbiWord-2.4 2.4.6 will also try and get a serial console working to catch the odd panic() = which now I assume gets lost because the console is in X11 GNOME = graphics mode Bernard
