I'm using the 2.6.22 kernel. Also, I haven't seen this except in Evo. The UI freezes completely e.g. if I bury the window and raise it again it won't even refresh, but I can switch to a different app or even a different desktop and everything else works. Eventually Evo wakes up again and I can continue until the next freeze. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
