The strange thing is that a couple of my linux friends are running GNOME+sawfish and do not see the problem. They too are running on X 3.3.6 for whatever it matters. I've not inspected the various "patches" that we've done to GNOME to de-linux it, but perhaps we've zigged when we should have zagged and introduced a problem (the patches I have waded through seemed like they were either adding more linking flags or changing the path to some file like /var/mail/%s vs. /usr/spool/mail/%s, etc. ... hardly things that would introduce some catastrophic bug ...). ???? -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
