I am using RH9 in a fairly vanilla way, and I find that it gets really slow after a while, but nothing is using the CPU. Windows take a long time to open, etc. I did top "M" and saw an RSS of over 500MB for nautilus. The only funny thing I do is use WGET to retrieve some webcam shots every few minutes to .gnome-desktop, and use the stretch icon feature to make the icons bigger. Unless other people are seeing a memory leak in Nautilus in other conditions, I would suspect some kind of bug with thumbnail generation. -----Original Message----- From: D. D.

How can one refresh/regenerate the thumbnails? For instance, the previous version of totem I had installed from freshrpms.net wasn't managing to generate thumbnails for movie files. However, the latest version does. So new movie files get a thumbnail, but all my existing ones just have an icon. I'd like to persuade nautilus/totem to generate thumbnails for the existing clips I have. I assume the easiest way would be to delete some config file, or some line in a config file, but I haven't been able to find anything by searching trough the various dotfiles in my home directory. There is no .thumbnails or .nautilus-metafile.xml in the the directory containing the clips. Any pointers? TIA, Darren -- ===================================================================== D. D.
