seems same problem with thunderbird, mozilla, nvu...whole mozilla things ... mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4 and gtk-engines-qt-0.6-r2 From this forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-468565.html Every five minutes or so, Firefox "hiccups" (freezes), and the tab you're looking at goes blank. This generally lasts about 2-30 seconds, with FF using 80-90% CPU all the while. Then all goes back to normal - with the exception of the page you were looking at being scrolled back up to the top. This is often accompanied by a memory leak of around 50mb in the X process, and occasionally (this has happened to me a couple of times in the last 2 days) it crashes out of control - the first time this happened X was eating around 1.5Gb of memory. If you reset X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace the memory is freed. Apparently the problem can be solved by unmerging gtk-engines-qt. unmerging not needed...just don't use that theme, but a normal gtk2 one. however something's broken. where...i don't know. all mozilla derived apps have same problem, but i have slightly different problems with other apps too (just 1-2-3 warnings, instead of mozilla flood) I added a new gtk-engines-qt cvs snapshot, hopefully it can help you. |
