Additional Pre-release Comments (GAMIN?)

Tom-
As stated yesterday- did a rather extensive checkout of features, functions, 
and config items for the latest pre-release. At that point everything was 
still AOK as far as actual operative item review.

However, did notice two (2) repeated strange events since activating latest 
pre-release. Scenario is:

1) typically start emelfm2 and leave active-minimized on one of my 
workplaces in Xfce 4.2.2, since I utilize it regularly in my sessions
2) thus, emelfm2 is usually always active, and my system is always on and 
up-time is measured in days-weeks..
3) last night after about 10 hours activation, noticed a 'race' condition 
with CPU utilization at 49% (SMP system), TOP showed:
        - X at 48% and emelfm2 at 1%
4) after selective app termination (Firefox, OOo, Kontact, etc.) condition 
ended immediately upon emelfm2 termination
5) started emelfm2 again- no problems until this evening; no intervening: 
reboots, session termination, or X restarts Same "race" condition with same  
TOP results. Again, "race" condition ceased immediately upon emelfm2 
termination

Conjectures:
a) initially installed pre-release with no MAKE options whatsoever.
b) after some research on FAM, GAMIN, etc.- I noted that Mandriva for LE 
2005 formally dropped FAM for GAMIN..
c) re-installed pre-release now with MAKE option 'USE_GAMIN=1'

At this time will wait to see if if the CPU "race" condition re-occurs. Your 
comments-insights are welcomed.

Regards-
