For a while i've had similar problem. I've been totally mystified. GAIM would show many processes cloned, which i initially thought was the cause of webpage getting locked up (btw, i did find simple pages always works, but the one that include various externally hosted ads etc. would lock it up). At some point when i thought all was well, i upgraded firefox: and poof, all bad again. Startted with a new ~/.mozilla tree. Still bad. Odd thing is that mozilla worked fine, but firefox would lock up. I did't try any of the other programs you mentioned. I have stick to the 1398 kernel though, otherwise my APM doesn't work. In both the newer ones APM is shot, and ACPI isn't working for me (Dell Inspiron 8200) - peter
