If I was handling this on a support phoneline, I'd start with questions about which train it was, what direction, which side of the aisle, aisle or window seat, you get the idea. Find the "Any" key ;) Galeon is one of a handful of Gnome applications that seems to be prone to looping at creation of new windows. Most of Gnome doesn't do that, and most of those that have been prone to that have stopped, but I keep seeing this mentioned enough around Galeon (including in the last couple of weeks) that it sounds like they haven't *polished* that point up yet. Usual solution is to rename the ~/.galeon directory - likely something is corrupted in it from a previous crash. Mozilla driving the CPU to 99% would be something different - any of a number of things can do that. How long is "a while" and do you get anything like a window opening for Mozilla? ______________________________________________________________________ This message is intended for offering general observational ideas of technical support for whoever might find them of use, and in no way implies any promise of solution or veracity of technical prowess.
