tcv: well, there is a difference between desktop environment such as
GNOME, KDE, XFCE, windows managers such as  Fluxbox, Metacity or Kwin
and login managers such as GDM, KDM and XDM. Last only manages logins
and such, second only moves windows around and similar things, the last
has got panels, applets, common standards to applications etc. Look it
up in wikipedia if you want ot learn more, I am sure there is lots about
it.

Alexander: I downloaded kubuntu-desktop and tried it under KDE with KDM.
It works (i.e. firefox from GUI does not eat up all the CPU). With KDM
and Fluxbox, it does not work (eats up all the CPU). In GNOME, it does
not work. For both GNOME and Fluxbox, it also does not work with GDM or
running startx from the tty1. I also tried Epiphany and it does not work
as well.

Therefore. The bug is present if you run from the gui a gecko based
browser (Epiphany and Firefox behave just the same), under Either GNOME
and Fluxbox regardles of how you login into the Destkop Environment (or
window managewr). It works under KDE.

Someone should test XFCE, I guess.
