I've noticed something similar on Centos 5.6 when using
Firefox. I traced it down to the Firefox flashplayer plugin
- something called npviewer.bin
If I upload a picture to www.tinypic.com and then highlight
the text to copy the picture's url, right clicking on the
highlighted text causes Firefox to freeze, and swapping
desktops is very slugish. Killing npviewer.bin unlocks the
system again.
Is this some sort of bug in the flashplugin?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
