Um, I'm not sure it's the right place to ask this, but ... Inkscape regularly makes debian freeze : It slows down, then becomes nonresponsive and then, after a *long* wait (20 minutes ?), it closes inkscape, and all's abck to normal. When it's frozen, Gnome refreshes very slowly (if at all, often it's all black), and even the terminal is slow - too slow for me to log in, it times out before asking for my password. Often, all I can do is physically reboot the machine, which is ungood.
What I've been doing is a) avoiding inkscape and b) when i use inkscape, have a root terminal already open. If anything shows sign of slowing down, I immediatly switch to it and "killall inkscape". That works, but isn't very elegant. I used to get this problem with mozilla and firefox (now that I don't use that machine for the web anymore, I don't know if it happens) - exactly the same symptoms, so the problem isn't in inkscape. I don't think I had it with any other programs. Um, I have Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (I get mostly "testing" from the repository - is that a good idea ?), gnome 2.8.3 ... I googled a bit but didn't find anything too similar (but them, I'm not sure what to google for) I would be grateful for any help or information ! This is a pain in the neck :-P Emile
