This is a plea for help.
I used to have a problem with Gnome - it ate up all of my SysV shared
memory. My window manager (sawmill) 's title bars would come up blank
because of this. I eventualy found the "use MIT-SHM" checkbox in the
imlib settings and turned it off, and the problem mostly went away.
I have recently upgraded to Gnome 1.2 and it has come back with a
vengence. The checkbox no longer has any effect. I have bumped up
the amount of shared memory, but it all gets used, no matter how much
is available. It is driving me crazy. I can't run other programs
(samba, fxtv) because there is never any shared memory left. Something
is eating it all - gnome, gtk, imlib, I don't know how these pieces
fit together or exactly where the fault lies. I am desperately looking
for a solution that doesn't involve just giving up this very pleasant
and otherwise useful software.
I have asked a co-worker who also runs Gnome on FreeBSD to check his
shared memory usage, and it was fine. The only difference is that I
am running -current and he has 4.0-release.
I can't find any evidence that I am not the only person on the planet
having this problem, but I am completely out of ideas. Does anyone
know what's going on here? Look at this output of "icps -mbop", it's
ridiculous:
