I got the same problem. My box is very old, the K6-2 400M cpu, 128M SDRAM, though it's fine when there is not too much windows opened, it often freeze when I open several Mozila browsers. More dangerous situation is, when I was downloading big files while opening browsers, it freezed, and I have to wait a logn while to prevent downloading from be interupted. I thought it's because my poor box, but Bob's box is pretty new, is this problem a bug or weakness of GNOME? I didn't try it in KDE, since it's much slower than GNOME, in my old box.
