And I wasn't telling you not to use it so much as not to start it if you *weren't* using it in the first place. But I see from the other posts in the thread that you are using programs that utilize it (Gaim was mentioned, as well as other gnome/gtk apps) -- so this is the more appropriate solution.
It may be that the esd you're using is incompatible with one or more of the gnome or gtk libraries recently released for the debian tree you're using -- and that these will be properly updated in the tree soon. You might want to check and see if the esd package(s) have any bugs against them at bugs.debian.org. If not... well, if you *have* the expertise, break out the debugger and compiler...! -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
