I don't know if any of you have noticed the same, but both the above seem to be very sluggish on my system. sluggish - Bringing focus to any of these two apps pauses around a second. Upgrade to a higher version is an option, but I do not want to. My system is well set and does what I want, pretty *nicely*. Its just these 2 new GTK packages which are exhibiting the sluggish behaviour. Actually even my new eclipse(eclipse.org) 3.1 stream build which sports a GTK2 UI has the same issue. Caveat, I am already loving all the above apps and am infact using them in my corporate env on a regular basis running on a win32 system... I request you guys not to suggest links/lynx/koq/KMail/Sylpheed/GTK apps running on KDE gotcha etc etc :-) Any pointers? Thanks, -Andy -- HOST SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING, PROBABLY DOWN.
