May be completely > unrelated off course. the first time i enabled "object bread crumbs" (you will still see the code commented out throughout e's code - just search for "crumb"). basically every reference count added got a crumb with a string attached and when the MATCHING unref for that bit of code was called it also removed the crumb with the same string. there was a timer that ran that if it found a window that is a ghost (erroneous reference count) checking every now and again (every second - the code is still commented out - then _e_border_del_dangling_ref_check() timer) then it would scream and dump the breadcrumb list - the breadcrumb list would then tell u which ref was somehow not matched by an unref - and thus let u knwo what to look at code-path wise :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) Using Tomcat but need to do more?
