I ran 'top' and it was showing scribus using 99+% of my CPU (which is a 2.66MHz P4) -- some kind of race condition? A warning requestor appeared in scribus before I killed it, but since there wasn't any text printing inside windows I didn't know what it was warning me about. Here's a thought -- I'm having a lot of trouble with my laptop losing time. Some time before scribus froze I had used ftp to correct my system clock (which was about 2-3 hrs behind). Could that have messed up a running process like scribus? Doesn't explain the problem in Gnome since I left the clock alone then. Gregory Pittman
