http://russnelson.com/{mapview,mapview.glade} If I browse enough maps, it crashes. I would *guess* that mapview's cache code isn't working properly, and isn't freeing up pixmaps. I asked Jim Gettys, and he says that there is currently no way to find out how many pixmaps an X server is storing. > Why are you assuming you are using up some resource?

Because I had tried many identical operations previous to the one that caused the server to crash. -- -russ nelson http://russnelson.com | Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | businesses persuade 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | governments coerce Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
