Any ideas? Me either - that sounds odd to me. I'd file a bug... </blockquote>Not easy to file a bug when I don't even know what circumstances make this happen. How can I make it possible for someone else to reproduce this problem? I kind of hoped that someone else experienced this problem, but that this "someone" is more experienced than me (beginner), being able to, if not solve the problem, at least have an idea what might be causing it. If you have a link to where I file a bug, I would appreciate it. The question is if this is an Ubuntu bug (if it is a bug) or a Gnome bug or some other kind of bug...Johnny Rosenberg
