This makes metacity my window manager. I also gave the gnome2-office packages installed, and use Gnumeric for a lot of spreadsheet work. I have been running into a problem where the following happens: 1. I am using Gnumeric 2. I switch to another Virtual Desktop [via ALT+CTRL-(Left|Right)] 3. I switch back to the Virtual Desktop with Gnumeric 4. Gnumeric appears to start to infinitely allocate RAM (the hard drive starts churning, presumably from swap access) 5. System screeches to a halt This is an Athlon64 Mobile with a 4200rpm PATA laptop hard drive. The controller can easily bring the system to a standstill under heavy load. It is very difficult to debug, due to this configuration. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Run Gnumeric (under Metacity) 2. Switch virtual desktops 3. Switch back 4. System halts >Fix: I don't know >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
