On a side note, I’ve tracked down the other GUI issue.
The “minimize to tray instead of taskbar” is what was eating up all the CPU on my system. After I turned this off, the issue was resolved with Runaway CPU.
This only seems to affect the 64 bit Client, as the 32 bit Clients I have don’t seem to be affected by this.
I did notice on the 64 bit Client, what happens is, it spawns multiple “tray” icons until X server finally kills over, so I guess I should submit that as a bug to somewhere? Huh
