Thanks to you and Scott for the advice. I've removed flash and that seems to have fixed the problem. Hasn't crashed in quite a while. The SO wants flash so I put it in her home directory .mozilla/plugins. She is not as heavy a tab user. the strange thing is that she _does_ use tabs, and hasn't seen this happen. This is very interesting since I see it die quite often. One very interesting detail is that I have two X sessions up and running, mine and hers, with mine on set-up using startx -- :1 I wonder if that has something to do with it... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
