This is a plea for help. I used to have a problem with Gnome - it ate up all of my SysV shared memory. My window manager (sawmill) 's title bars would come up blank because of this. I eventualy found the "use MIT-SHM" checkbox in the imlib settings and turned it off, and the problem mostly went away. I have recently upgraded to Gnome 1.2 and it has come back with a vengence. The checkbox no longer has any effect. I have bumped up the amount of shared memory, but it all gets used, no matter how much is available. It is driving me crazy. I can't run other programs (samba, fxtv) because there is never any shared memory left. Something is eating it all - gnome, gtk, imlib, I don't know how these pieces fit together or exactly where the fault lies. I am desperately looking for a solution that doesn't involve just giving up this very pleasant and otherwise useful software. I have asked a co-worker who also runs Gnome on FreeBSD to check his shared memory usage, and it was fine. The only difference is that I am running -current and he has 4.0-release. I can't find any evidence that I am not the only person on the planet having this problem, but I am completely out of ideas. Does anyone know what's going on here? Look at this output of "icps -mbop", it's ridiculous: Shared Memory: T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP NATTCH SEGSZ CPID LPID m 65536 5432010 --rwa------ pgsql pgsql 2 120 246 246 m 65537 5432001 --rw-------
