This instance of Phoebe is running under vmware 3.2, build 2230.

As far as I know it works on things that are not vmware.

You might try "strace -t -o /tmp/output -f gnome-terminal"
or something along those lines and then "tail -f /tmp/output" while
it's stuck,
and see which lines repeat, or if it's even making progress.

strace does not appear to be loaded on my system.  Is that a separate
rpm I need to install?  If so, is it on one of the cd's or in rawhide?

Thanks

Oh, you have 8.0, I thought you were trying the beta.

First thing to check if it's 8.0 is whether it works in the Phoebe beta. 
It's probably different/better. Installing the beta is sort of an
undertaking
though so don't feel like you have to check yourself.

Anyhow, yes strace is on the CD in its own rpm.

------- Additional Comment #5 From Todd Booher on 2002-12-24 14:43 -------

I am running the beta but it appears the strace is not loaded.  I'll 
search the cd's for the rpm.

Thanks

Here's the error message launching it from xterm:

Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".


Thanks to warren for helping me track this down.

------- Additional Comment #7 From Warren Togami on 2002-12-29 02:29

Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".

The sluggish system behavior is consistent with what some applications
do when
RENDER isn't available.  I've seen wine, earlier KDE builds, and
flash5 cause
this problem with 100% CPU usage when it didn't properly handle the
lack of
RENDER.  All of these apps were later fixed to fall back gracefully.

Please, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80414
for a
very very close report to this :-)

Comment 2 Olav Vitters 2003-11-02 00:57:31 UTC
Can't this be closed? The hang is probably due to the 100% CPU because
of the missing RENDER extension. Quoted comment #7 says the
applications can be fixed against a missing RENDER extension, but can
that really be changed in gnome-terminal?

In the following bug someone says it should be fixed in XFree86 4.3.0:

Comment 3 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-02-09 01:05:05 UTC
This seems to have been fixed at a lower level...

Closing.
