I don't think so. At least, neither dmesg nor /var/log/kern.log mention anything related to OOM, and the box isn't swapping particularly heavily. > If you follow the instructions at [1], due you get an .xsession-errors > file with more clues? I followed the instructions (except "gnome-session-fallback --debug" instead of "gnome-session --debug"), and now I seem to have a working session. I still get some of the flickering of the icons in the notification area, but I haven't been able to crash the session all morning and my Xchat keeps its pretty look, despite starting several of the usual suspects at once. I think I'll stick with what's working for today, but I'll try again next week, both with and without --debug. Roland. -- Roland Mas Bonjour, je suis un virus de signature.
