I am not having any issues with CentOS 5 and Gnome ... I have been
using it as my primary desktop since before the 5.0Beta stage.
I would initially start out but looking at any 3rd party installed
products.
The only 3rd party tools that are *installed* on the systems are the
following RPMs from the RPMforge repo:
crossvc-1.5.2-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
directfb-0.9.25.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
directfb-devel-0.9.25.1-1.el5.rf.i386.kdiff3-0.9.92-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
meld-1.1.5-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.008-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
perl-Compress-Zlib-2.008-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.008-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.008-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Jcode-2.06-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
perl-Mail-Sendmail-0.79-1.2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-OLE-Storage_Lite-0.16-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.32-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.21-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Unicode-Map-0.112-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
perl-XML-Parser-2.36-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
perl-XML-Simple-2.18-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
subversion-1.4.6-0.1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
subversion-perl-1.4.6-0.1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
None of these have actively running processes (ie.e, daemons) that
could interfere with ongoing Gnome activity. I do have a couple of
3rd party tools that are installed on an automounted NFS share, but
again, these are just user applications like an IDE and a source
control management system that should be fairly self contained and
not affect the Gnome Terminal process, Gnome applets, etc.
Also, if the hardware is the same, it might be something related to
that motherboard chipset and centos-5 kernels. I would see if you
have the latest BIOS for the hardware as there may be APIC/ACPI
issues that can effect kernel, udev, hald, etc.
OK, I will look into this.
I have zero issues here ... but I do NOT use yum-updated or any of
its applets.
The only Gnome applets in use are the default ones: Show Desktop,
Window List, and Workspace switcher. I don't even have the yum-
updatesd RPM installed.
I will try to raise these issues on a Gnome mailing list or forum to
see if anyone has any useful insights.
Thanks,
Alfred
