The CPU info tab in guname shows a strange looking character at the end of each string it prints.
This may actually be a bug elsewhere. I'm also seeing the same dotted box character in gnorpm.
Those are Ctrl Characters. The new version of GTK+ now prints out previously printed characters as a dotted box. guname is probably just printing out the '\n' at the end of the entry it read in from /proc
this is a dup of another bug I have
*** Bug 56197 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Should be fixed in 1.4.0-8
