Generally nothing worked properly. > hey jeff, so we're at it again?? hm, as said earlier (in solved: gnome sound) i re-enabled esd after i figured out that the apps i wanted to use had to be made "esd-aware" (just like running mpg321 with the -o esd switch) so i *am* in fact running gnome with esd.. and it works nicely now.. but: i have two users on my system and i noticed that .gtkrc was owned by root in one home dir and owned by user and group root in the other.. ?! what is that, who or what changed that? and: i tried to check top when these periodic slowdowns occured and noticed that a) XFree86 was running niced to -10 (is that normal?) and b) used more than 80% cpu at those times (right now it's running but i'm not using it and it doesn't even show in top).. and that just because i'm trying to close or move a window.. i sense that something must be broken in either X or maybe *maybe* (crazy speculation warning) the changes to the kernel arch that i heard of are affecting me?! i have no idea, why isn't it happening in kde then? stupid stupid stupid.. frank.
