The below configuration is running out of threads. This is indicated by Netbeans 3.6 (a Java ide - www.netbeans.org) reporting "out of memory error, cant make new native thread". The interesting thing about this is that it began right after I upgraded from gnome2.4 to gnome2.6 After killing the netbeans/java task, even simple unix processes cannot get enough resources to run (ex: kill, ps, ls ...) It was necessary to goto a root account to kill the ide process.

I don't use Netbeans, but two things you might try:- Check that your aren't running up against a limit specified with the 'ulimit' command (see: man bash). - If you are doing something like allocating 768+ MB to the JVM, try _deceasing_ this value so that there are more resources available for native threads.
I'm going to guess that running a GNOME 2.6 desktop takes more resources than running a GNOME 2.4 desktop (although I run neither). That it began after the upgrade probably indicates nothing other than that it exacerbated the problem.
