Does the RENDER X extension work properly on your system? (do you get errors like "Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display :0.0" ?)
all I know is that my laptop (p3 600 w/ 128 megs of RAM running RedHat 9 w/ XD2 running default setup) sounds like it runs evolution faster than your 2 gigahertz + 2gig of ram desktop machine, which seems a bit strange... no? I'll grant you that w/ 128 megs of ram and a 256 meg swap partition, things are not exactly snappy - but redraws and plenty fast. the browser config setting thing has more to do with what arguments you pass to the browser command-line than a bug in GNOME. If I try to launch mozilla more than once on my machine from the command-line, it often won't let me - asking me to select a different profile. you probably need to do something like: mozilla --new-window (you'd have to read up on the mozilla command-line options to know for sure, I was just making that one up). what other preferences "get ignored"? They all seem to work fine for me... Jeff On Mon, 2003-09-15 at 11:32, Paul Hands wrote: > Jeff, > > You may well be right regarding configuration, but what in > particular?
