It may be a Xorg thing. I have similar problems with gqview and
gthumb that did not occur with Debian Sarge on the same hardware and
I am preparing an email to this list (because of lack of time it's
unfinished for weeks ...). So, I'm just curious about answers to
your email. But IMHO buying new hardware should not be the solution.
