[Galeon-user] Re: galeon max out cpu: It's driving me nuts! ANY new idea? Or how could I give more info?

[Jiang Q. <qi...@fa...>]

I asked this a couple of days ago but no solution/request for more info is offered yet. The problem
is becoming worse and worse and galeon is approaching the instablity of my ie M$ days. Any thought
or info I shall provide? If it's an xft problem whis am I not seeing it in say, gnome-terminal,
which presumably also use some measure of xft? What xft setting I can change about it?
Also any thought on the fact that epiphany replaced galeon in the new redhat beta?
Hope you can give me some enlightenment. 
Does updating to mozilla 1.4 and galeon 1.3 series fix that?
