I already have that set and it exhibits the > behavior I mentioned above. I have seen this problem on occasion too. Mostly I see it after an update and prior to a reboot. I suspect X has some libraries open and new X client applications link to the new libs. I also have nVidia and know that I must reload those drivers+libs. The recent update to Mesa will stomp on the GL libs. I suspect notifiers are doing a grab focus call and something is not mapping the call correctly. I have seen in with Python tools like up2date. So Q: nVidia? Q: recent X updates? Do inspect the debug logs for X. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Me, I would "Rather" Not.
