I would suspect Lesstif over Motif if it came down to those two, or the Gnome window manager. I run OpenSuSE-10.3 with FVWM2 as a window manager and don't see any such lockups. I know that's not very close to the problem system reported, but it's what I have to work with/debug with. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.

I also use lesstif. I've never liked Gnome so I installed KDE and weeded out many Gnome components. There is now a Debian iso image that installs KDE by default - debian-40r3-i386-kde-CD-1 - which I've installed on a test machine but since it's not "live" yet I don't know what it will/won't do. My in-service system was Sarge initially until I did the upgrade to Etch so it could be a bit of a hybrid in some respects.

Re: [Xastir] Lockups on a fresh system
Ok, no lockups when I disabled the map so I reenabled the map on Friday. It ran just fine all weekend long...until today. Top says Xastir is using 100% CPU and the last thing it was about to do is refresh the maps. There is no ImageMagick process running in the background. However, there is a bulletin window up (it opened on receipt of two bulletins) but I can't close the window (though I can move it) and I can't do anything with the Xastir main window. This is the same condition I've seen before. The maps were going to (or in process of) refreshing but a bulletin window was up. I'll have to try to disable the bulletin window (I forget where) and see what happens there.
