I have this problem occasionally because of outdated font cache files. I have lots of fonts and without up-to-date font caches, every app that's started up scans all of them, pegging the CPU at 100% for quite a while. The solution that I've found (better ones requested! [For Debian]) is to go to the root of each of the major repositories of fonts on the system and run "fc-cache .". Fixes it right up, Shawn. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBWN056d8WxFy/CWcRAlsKAKCQj91qDjiGmIBns327FkD3LBC+dgCdFRqj 5vRbAwR6tI8jxLPA/mj7x2Y= =idk1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ___________________________________________________ .
