Because this is weird, I'll mention one long-shot possible connection. About a year ago I had to do something on this system which was odd and unexplained. Under Karmic (and further back) when I terminated my Eclipse instance, it would vanish from the screen, but fail to completely terminate. I would end up with these huge stuck Java processes which I would have to kill manually. The solution ended up being to uninstall some Ubuntu package I had never heard of involving assistive technologies. Once I got rid of that, my Eclipse instances would terminate cleanly. The relationship was so bizarre I didn't know what to make of it. Later on I had difficulty with some application that seemed displeased that this AT package was missing, but it didn't seem to impact my normal usage, so I kind of forgot about it and never looked into the cause.
That and the non-standard X I'm currently running are the only two administrative excursions that come to mind. -- severe memory leak began in Karmic, persisting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
