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. -- Firefox hangs on websites when using gecko-mediaplayer plug in/gnome-mediaplayer/mplayer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
