hi alexander i don't know about the other guys, speaking for myself though the behavior was not only limited to firefox. it was simply the first application that was affected by it. I use kubuntu so i don't run many gtk applications yet the ones i do use seemed to show the same behavior. as previously mentioned, evince and firestarter were affected. this does support your hypothesis of a buggy helper application.
thank you for your continuing help :-) ANDREA -- Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min, gtk-damaged? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231384 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
