Because I don't have any Linux box I cannot test this :-) And I do not plan to setup a linux box from the scratch (using a great distributor you'll never know what they have patched). > I really should do some profiling, but it seems intermittent and seems > more likely to happen when the terminal has been up for a while.

I've seen in top(1), that for the while gnome-terminal ist eating so much cpu-time, the state of the process is 'Giant*'. If there is someone outside who can profile this nad maybe deep into dependencies, this whould be very great. Best regards, Jens
