I too suffered from this problem until Duncan reported how 'xset r off' cured it for him. It also cured it for me. I don't know if "cured" is the right word, but the problem hasn't appeared since I applied the cure. I wasn't experiencing the problem as bad as Duncan was, but enough to make it irritating (maybe 10 - 20 times a day). My machine is NT - improved no end through Cygwin/XFree86/XFCE :-) Paul Warren
