I also have the problem, also using an nvidia card (currently using their proprietary driver now, version NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run). My thunderbird used to be rock stable (uptimes several weeks), but recently it started to crash as well (about once a week or so). Even more disturbing is that now gnome-terminal also starts crashing. I usually have many (30+) gnome terminal windows open on several virtual screens and on a crash, they all disappear (except maybe one or two, which were started by another launcher). What I also noticed is that "suddenly" the focus changes, and many (all?) minimized windows suddenly get unminimized again. I also have lots of yellow sticky notes, usually hidden, and they also suddenly get unhiden as well (that's usually how I notice the focus change). Maybe window manager related (I'm using the standard gnome in centos5 latest)? Sometimes, it even happens when I'm not at my keyboard at all... And, indeed, it gets more frequent recently. (Firefox crashing several times a day, gnome-terminal 1-2 times a week. Windows unminimizing without any action on my part several times a day as well.) -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.525 Interleuvenlaan 86, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.552 *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, ~., * * stop, end, ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, KJOB, * * ^X^X, :D::D, kill -9 1, kill -1 $$, shutdown, init 0, Alt-F4, * * Alt-f-e, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Alt-SysRq-reisub, Stop-A, AltGr-NumLock, ... * * ...
