I generally use the version on T-Bird that is on the current Fedora repo. The freeze condition that I see is just an annoying pain because it occurs while I am typing. it is possible that the issue may not be directly related to thunderbird, but possibly something with the nVidia driver, but my gut feel at the moment is that T-Bird is doing something that affects echoing the keystrokes. I need to do a bit more testing and see if I can find the culprit. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
