It's probably only the symptom of the problem. What happens is that Gajim, the whole application, freezes and I have to kill the process and restart it. This happens as I can remember when I close a chat window. So I noticed that aplay was still there (as a zombie) and thought it was the sound that made Gajim hang. Now, since the same problem happens with artsplay, I'm not so sure anymore, stracing it shows that Gajim just sits there waiting for input with all it's windows completely frozen, they don't even repaint when they have been hidden below another application. So, do you know any easy way to turn on debugging in Gajim? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
