Usually there's only a single gnome-terminal process for all your windows. You can use --disable-factory to use a single process for each window (that you start from the command-line/icon. Shift+Ctrl+N should reuse the process still). > For example: just now, I have a CD playing, firefox open with a few tabs, > and emacs open.

Check dmesg for the OOM killer. He could be taking out your gnome-terminal (the OOM Killer never was very bright). Or it could be hw problems that manifest in memory corruption in gnome-terminal. Or it could be a bug in Centos5 only. I don't use it as a desktop. -- lfr 0/0 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
