I'm experiencing a similar problem with the GTK file save box. Under fluxbox, the save box starts to grow and shrink horizontally by approx 40% of its size twice per second or so. The only way out of this is to kill and restart Firefox. I don't know if other GTK-based programs are affected though. Another data point: I'm too in the midst of the giant gettext upgrade tango, so this could be temporary, until everything is finally upgraded. cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
