Hi,

On my Sony Vaio Laptop with NetBSD 1.6.2 and gnome 2.2 running, I 
discover lockups of the gnome-panel process, if I start some programs 
from the menu. The cpu load is 100% for this task for a minute or 
longer, and after that the program is started and everything works fine 
again. Starting the programs from e.g. an xterm is no problem. Has 
anyone seen something like this before, and has a solution for that?

Kind regards,

Alex.
