And I would see explorer.exe using absolutely as much CPU as it could. I noticed this because my laptop kept heating up to the point where it shut itself down ... (Now I run the Windows version of Picasa under stock Wine ;-) ) The symptoms sound similar, I'm wondering if it's related. Oh, and explorer.exe's VM footprint was listed in top (which I know is not entirely accurate) as about a gigabyte. - d.
