Or has the latest :source been checked as well? It may have got better...... : I suspect that GNOME is the culprit here. I've been through every GNOME port since .99 or so, rebuilt each port several times, and it's just never stable. This machine otherwise has never had any problems. It's a little disappointing actually, I like what I've seen of GNOME (while it's running), but it just doesn't work all that well.
