Since just the other day I've been logging into my Dapper notebook only
to discover that gnome-panel is "frozen". Doesn't respond to mouse
clicks etc. I straced it and found out that it's stuck on a futex. On a
hunch I made a .xsession file that ran
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 gnome-session
So that it would use old-skool threads. Now, that's solved the problem,
I can click on stuff and it all behaves as you'd expect, but it's a
pretty nasty solution.
Anyone know what's going on? Is there an easier way to debug this than
downloading all of gnome and building it with debug symbols etc?
Thanks dudes,
James.
