I also find that gnome-terminal gobbles up a lot of CPU (and as a result, so does X), so I'll find myself occassionally stuck until I can manage to CTRL-ALT-F1, log in, and kill gnome-terminal. After a few minutes, X settles down as well. This happens *very* sporadically tho, but I've noticed that upgrading packages does seem to trigger it, although I don't know why. I've got transparent backgrounds in gnome-terminal, and I thought that might have been the cause, but it still happens with the standard background as well. I haven't had an opportunity to dig into it further, but I do find it really frustrating as I don't want to use any other terminals (now that I've gotten spoiled with the tabbed terminals, I don't want to go back to having five terms open at the same time). -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
