Here are a few I found: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328391 < I think this bug manifests itself at 2 open terminals, nevermind 20 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341286 < my specific gkrellm startup bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337117 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336820 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335145 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330583 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343406 In other words, they know. They've known since 2.13. -Tim
