both Firefox and Seamonkey bog down after being open for a while. I do not know if the two problems are related.
I doubt it, but if it does, I suspect it would have to do with GTK/KDE theming issues, or QT4, or compositing. I always have compositing disabled at the Xorg config level except sometimes briefly on a fresh distro install on a test system. I'm still running 32 bit 3.6.1 on 11.4 Evergreen/KDE3 24/7 with 4GB RAM and no swap partition enabled, and for weeks at a time without restarting until when the UPS batteries are run flat by extended local electric utility incompetence. The following also are kept open with infrequent restarts except for the one profile I backup daily while it is closed after daily trash empty and compacting: FF rv:1.8.1.20 from mozilla.org FF rv:1.9.2.28 from Mozilla Legacy repo FF latest (now rv20.0) from mozilla.org SM next (now rv21.0) browser and IRC; from mozilla.org SM latest (now rv20.0) browser and email; from mozilla.org only because updates are so slow to arrive in openSUSE repos I see no sluggishness or delays like I see reported by others, except occasional ones I invariably attribute to network issues outside my LAN. I estimate that my average open tab count among the 5 browser windows and 1 IRC window is upwards of 200. In email I don't use tabs. If you think KDE is the problem, try switching to KDM3 and KDE3 both long enough to see if crashing and bogging down stop. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
