For some reason I did not catch the beginning of this thread but it sounds like what I experienced with gdm2 after upgrading to XFree86-4.3.0. The gdmlogin process was eating up memory and causing swap to be used, which almost _never_ happens on this machine. I found that rebuilding/reinstalling fontconfig solved the problem for me. Give that a try before reinstalling all of Gnome 2.2. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
