I appreciate you writing back.
Talking about what has happened to your network
definitely answers some questions. (Also some others
have written and seen the same thing)
I guess it is not as widespread as the sampling from

either VNC or xwin32, but if memory serves xwin32 isn't free. VNC is more
a "PC Anywhere" type but you
can use it the same way as an xserver, cept you're actually on the machine.

I have yet to figure out why my Mandrake 7.0-2 does this... Perhaps some of you will
have a solution.
This happens in both Gnome and KDE. When I'm using several apps at once (Staroffice,
Gimp, Toppage, Netscape - not necessarily all
of these at one time), some process would just take over and

Anybody know if it's fixed in 7.1?
