I have now been able to verify that tuxpaint, opened from gCompris on either of the 2 kids machines freeze the clients. I am able to restart x with <ctrl><alt><Backspace>. If I start Tuxpaint with a terminal comand, I get the tuxpaint splash screen, but then the client freezes (from gCompris, the splash screen never apears.) Tuxmath runs painfully slow from either of the kids terminals. I tried it from one of the adult machines (running on a new IO corporation proedge thin client) and performance was much better.

I aslo got a Gnome Settings Daemon error when booting the clients. When I restarted x, they logged in with no error. I haven't run the test you suggested yet, but I will in the next few hours. > If you could detail the hardware (video card, video ram, cpu, ram) of one > or two affected thin clients that might well be useful, particularly if it > happens more on one client than another. > The 2 kids stations are identical Gateway E-4400 machines with ATI Rage 128 cards (64 mb AGP) and 128 megs of RAM I tried rebooting the server to se if any of the sluggishness would improve. It got to the msg Activating swapfile swap and got stuck. I found this thread <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551976>, so did <CTRL><ALT><DEL> and was able to boot the server. Perhaps I should start a new thread with this problem? I suspect that this was somehow caused be me trying to install Gutsy along side Fiesty on this machine. The installation failed, and it seems that I must have hosed my swap partition? Wow.... it looks like I have screwed things up royally, I hope you all can help me. Thanks so much, Kevin
