Re: gnome-terminal hogging CPU ?

Hmmm... Sounds like the curse of the gnome dot files...

Whenever I experience something like "odd" like this, I create a "clean"
user account with *no* gnome dot files, and bring up the desktop under
this new user account.  If the problem goes away, that tells me that I
have somehow corrupted  one or more of the gnome dot file files.
