Hi I posted yesterday about a problem I was having with gnome. I've got a bit more information about the problem. If I try to change the background in gnome after I su to root and run background-properties-capplet, everything is ok. If I don't run it as root, after I click the "Browse" button to choose a pixmap, background-properties-capplet takes up all the memory in the machine and gets killed by the VM, after about 20 seconds.
kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0) kernel: VM: killing process background-prop Is anyone else seeing this frankly bizarre behaviour? I'm running a fresh install of 8.2 set to Paranoia mode :) Nick
