This is the error I get the first time... (after restarting) (the window sorta appears then dis-appears) $ gnome-terminal Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0". Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 1088 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting... (process:30745): Gdk-ERROR (recursed) **: The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.

Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog If I try to run it again, the window appears with nothing in it. The machine starts to get slower and slower as gnome-terminal takes up all my ram and swap, then the machine becomes unusable (except to push the reset button cause I am impatient). I guess I will post a bug (as soon as I remember my login) ... but has anyone else gotten that behavior? I can do "ALT+F2" and use xterm for now :) Tommy -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
