Hi Jeremy, 1) is it HW specific, Paul told me that you found it on some T61, if so please add lspci -nn output to this bug 2) what about firefox 8 from brew,there are build available for rhel6 3) I filled maybe similar issue with beaker, it cause like 20sec hang but after approximately 20 seconds everything work just fine. How long have you wait before you killed metacity? 4) I the luci web client available somewhere for testing? Thanks Tom More likely a SELinux bug. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. This appears to be caused by more than Firefox. I just installed 6.2 on a workstation with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 video card. I have disabled the nouveau driver. The desktop locks up after a few minutes with and without NVIDIA binary graphics drivers. Switching to a virtual terminal, I can see metacity using 99% CPU and the VIRT and RES memory values are climbing. VIRT exceeds 1100g.
