Yup, that seems perfectly sensible to me. > It sounds like something either in the Gtk libraries or in the window > manager or elsewhere on the system resized the window (maybe to some sort > of overflow or absolute value of a negative height?) and GTimer got that > value back from gtk_window_get_size and dutifully saved it to the config > file.

That all makes sense. I'd be a little surprised if the resize came before the hang (I hadn't moved or resized the window when it hung, and I've not had similar problems with any other application (nor caught enlightenment enlarging windows unexpectedly)) although I had switched desktops and I suppose it's always possible that this kicked it off. > > Reproducing the freeze could be difficult - is there anything I can do > > to get you more information if/when it happens again? > > If you can get this to happen again, I'd really like to see what the > GTimer process is doing during the freeze.

I'll let you know what I discover ;-) The enlightenment bug is #309831, for reference. All the best, Julian -- Julian T. J. Midgley http://www.xenoclast.org/ Cambridge, England.
