I think it is the gnome's problem , When I am in twm or blackbox, everything went well! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start gnome 2.start xmms or emacs 3. Actual Results: gnome freeze and mouse can't move for about 20 seconds, after that everything returns OK Expected Results: I think it is font problem, because when I am about to change font in xmms configuration panel the same result happens.

preempt activated in kernel ? hdparm tuning activated ?
both activated! I am very sure it is caused by font problem !
Sorry for the delay. Does the problem still persist? Could you provide the output of `equery list "*fonts*"`? (Did you install efont-unicode? It might slow down your machine after you installed it creating font cache, but this occurs only once.)
I believe this is related to an issue i am having with xmms and fonts, when i select a font in xmms settings that has unicode support xmms hangs, strace gives me this: select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) read(3, "\1\32/\'\0\0\0\0\0\0\377\277\4\0\0\0`\255y\t)\0\0\0\1\0"..., 32) = 32 writev(3, [{"1\0\21\0\1\0009\0", 8}, {"-adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal-*"..., 57}, {"\0\0\0", 3}], 3) = 68 read(3, 0xbfffe640, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) read(3, "\1\0320\'\20\0\0\0\1\0\377\277\4\0\0\0 P\222\0109\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32 readv(3, [{"<-adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal-"..., 64}, {"", 0}], 2) = 64 writev(3, [{"2\0\21\0\1\0;\0", 8}, {"-adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal--"..., 59}, {"\0", 1}], 3) = 68 read(3, 0xbfffe820, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) for a whole lot of fonts I do not have a font server running or anything! This only happens if i run xmms with setting LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, also the unicode fonts do not appear right
Does this problem still exist? xmms is away soon
xmms gone; user response needed here anyway.
