I forgot to say we are using icewm and XDM. We had stability issues with GDM as well, thus XDM. The LTSP server is running a purchased stock copy of RedHat 8.0 with Gnome 2.0. The application that it occurs with are Mozilla and OpenOffice, other applications like pine and xterm are unaffected. I wonder if you have the same problems with Mozilla and OpenOffice?
