I suspect the gedit stuff is reformatting and such based on font displays, line wrapping, etc. You're probably going to hit that with any large file or files with extra long lines. I also suspect the vim-X11 scrollback is due to having de-buffer data and re-seek back into the file (again, seeking for lines to "break" on), along with all the glorious (tongue in cheek) overhead Gnome brings to the party. I gave up on Gnome. The developers tend to ignore what users request, make some really stupid (IMHO) decisions and it's an unconscionable resource hog. While it's sort of pretty, it sure as hell ain't worth it. I use Xfce or LXDE, mostly Xfce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Hard work has a future payoff.
