GUI Crash
Some of you may recall my regularly repeated GUI crash trick. it's amazing and stupendous but it doesn't bring in the bucks like pulling a rabbit out of my shared libraries so I thought I'd dump it.
Origionally I thought it was because of hyperthreading, but I don't know that that's the case anymore. I think i've narrowed it down, so let me give you the rundown.
When I change from my GUI (windowmaker, though it happens in anyhting that is XWindows or similar) to a command line window (ie ctrl-F3) and (usually) there is a window or series of windows actrive (esspecually if they are changing like an Opera browser) then the problem can usually be assured to happen (if not the first or second time soon after that. Sometimes, when this occurs, I have to ctrl-F8 or ctrl-F9 to get back to teh GUI (it moves up).
Thoughts on repairing this?
