Both tomboy and beagle freeze while starting up mono-core-1.1.13-1.x86_64 beagle-0.2.0-1.x86_64 tomboy-0.3.3-5.x86_64 This looks a lot like bug #179002 which seems to be caused by bug #179228 where gcj hangs in garbage colleciton caused by a kernel bug. An strace of tomboy stops at: futex(0x6a6e40, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL
In fact, it is the same as bug 179228. Reverting to the old kernel fixes this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 179228 ***
