------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 31 05:07:52 +0000 2008 ------- I got this result under Ubuntu 7.1, using both the free and proprietary ATI xservers. Create a text file under writer. Make it a couple of pages. You can use the default style and just paste in a bunch of Lorem Ipsum. Go to the Format menu, and pick page. Set the background to be a png. I used a semi-transparent watermark. I also used Area as the Type, but this works under Position, as well. Now click ok. You have a lovely background image under your text. Open a terminal window, and execute "top". Hit "M" to sort by memory. Xorg will take about 30 megs, depending on your options loaded and how much else you do. Scroll up and down through the text. Up and down, up and down. Watch the xorg memory footprint get bigger and bigger. Keep doing it for several minutes, and ultimately you'll fill memory with xorg. You'll start paging, then you'll bog down. If you show restraint and stop filling memory before your machine becomes unusable, you can quick openoffice.org and VOILA! all that memory gets freed out of xorg. This issue renders background images unusable in a document you're trying to edit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
