	I've just answered this question on orbit-list, and I noticed
someone on irc was asking this question last night too ... So people,
I'd really like to figure out why this is happening a lot so I can fix

	Anyway look at

	http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orbit-list/2002-January/msg00128.html

	And please let me know how it goes :/

Good Luck,
Mark.
