I'm happy to give as much details as I can, as xosview is my fave.  I
see the problem on 2.6.29 kernels only, not on 2.6.28 and older, so it
could be a kernel problem.  I have one system that doesn't demonstrate
the problem, but all the rest do, regardless of xosview version.  One
of my systems is etch, but the others are all lenny.  The one that
doesn't demonstrate the problem is an intel atom processor, the others
are all AMD processors, so I'm wondering if there's something different
about the kernel between the two.  I'll let you know when I've nailed
down some specific info.

Is 1.8.3+debian-11 in squeeze or sid?  I could backport it and try it,
but I'm really beginning to think it's not an xosview thing, or at
least, not specific to a particular version of xosview.

I'll let you know when I've figured out more.  Just wanted to reply to
your email.

Thanks,

a
