The X wire protocol is very sensitive to high-latency links. Just about any Internet connection is going to be considered "high-latency". It's not a Thunderbird thing, it's an X thing. (Some X programs are worse than others due to the nature of their commands or the complexity of their GUI, but it's fundamentally an X issue.) Use a protocol more suited to high-latency links. VNC is a common choice for X stuff. I've also seen X protocol extensions/variants/etc intended to address this issue, but I've never tried them. FreeNX is one such. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
