I use Gnome. Sometimes I get this total refresh of the desktop. I have 6 workspaces, and it's not uncommon that I have 40-50 windows running, so a refresh leaves me sitting idle for about 30 seconds. In addition, it now happens sometimes in Fedora-9 that switching workspaces has become VERY slow, but I seem to be able to fix that by closing an application. gimp or gqview are two I often leave running and can dismiss. I did instal1l Fedora-10 but suspend didn't work out of the box, so I'll have to fix that and come back to it. But I'm wondering if this is something others have seen I think the refresh has been in FC7 as well, the slow switching is something new in 9 i believe. I will check in Fedora-10 if it depends on using commercial nvidia driver, since that is what I'm using and I haven;t updated 10 for that. - peter -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
