i have 730MB of 1GB available and that likely answers your question about swap. i am also not running KDE, i use the default fvwm. i will change my login class to staff and restart my X session, a la otto's suggestion, to see if that fixes it. everybody who replied CC'ed me, so i got 3 duplicate replies since i'm subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] why the CC fellas?
