XWIN performance

2007-08-29 Thread Michael Giroux
I'm having some trouble running xwin. Essentially, when I right-click a menu, then move the mouse over the context menu, it takes up to 30 seconds for the selection to highlight. The remote system and my system are both running nearly idle, so I suspect tcp/ip buffering is happing. Are there

I have a similar problem, but it is not limited to a specific account. In fact, it is fairly random. Sometimes I get pretty good performance, and then it just dies. In my case, it seems to get pretty bad when I launch Eclipse, but I have to admit that Eclipse is the only GUI app that I use, so

More info. If I open a terminal session in the x window, it is very responsive. I can enter any number of shell commands and the response is great. However, when I start Eclipse, my x server seems to hang. While I am seeing poor response on my x server, I can open a simple telnet session to

Thanks -swcursor has eliminated the console messages, and it manages to highlight the extremely slow response. It is taking several seconds for the mouse pointer to move when I move the physical mouse. In fact, I now realize that keyboard is non responsive as well. I'm not seeing any cpu

Thanks for the tip. I was able to use the ssh, but that generated errors on the console (below). Before running the ssh command, I started xwin, but perhaps I need to specify some options? Michael (eclipse:29698): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (eclipse:29698):

I have retested this with connections to different Linux systems, and it (my xwin server hang) appears to be isolated to a single Linux. I find there is a difference in Fedora versions on the two systems. Although I'm surprosed that the version of Fedora would cause my local xwin.exe to stop
