I have also noticed this. I have not yet run CentOS 5 but have been running RHEL5 for a month or so and it appears that after some time I cannot open applications in the GUI? Even simple ones like a terminal won't open. The task bar shown the application as "starting...." and the mouse goes into "busy mode", then after a minute or so the application starting goes away and the mouse goes back to the normal state. ?? I will have to see if I can get a machine running CentOS 5 and see if the issue is there too.
I don't tend to bother with GUIs but is there a possibility the applications are opening on different virtual desktops? Can you see them running with a 'ps uxw' ?
If you can't even get a terminal to check, switch to a VTY with CTRL-ALT-F1 (switch back with CTRL-ALT-F8), login and run your ps from there.
Will.
