fairly recently, i've noticed a couple annoying bits of behaviour that appear to be related to running firefox when there's a youtube image embedded in the web page being displayed. first, if the displayed page has a youtube image and i refresh that page, what i notice, up in the top left corner of my desktop, is a sudden "flickering" of whatever happens to be there, in exactly the dimensions of a youtube image. it doesn't matter where the browser is on the desktop, or whether the youtube image is even *visible* (it might be scrolled down) -- i'll get that same flickering, and always in the same place -- top left of the display. (if that instance of the browser is displaying a page without a youtube image, no problem.) and not as frequently, when firefox eventually (and *inevitably* i might add) finally just grinds to a halt (memory leak?), i'll just do "killall firefox-bin" and, occasionally, it will leave a youtube image sized white rectangle on the desktop, and there is absolutely nothing i can do to get rid of it short of logging out and restarting the desktop entirely. that white box is visible across all four virtual desktops, and behaves as if it's sitting on top, so any client i move across it gets wiped as long as it's underneath. is anyone else seeing this? it's kind of annoying. rday p.s. this is on a gateway laptop with an ATI video chip, if that helps. ======================================================================== Robert P.
