Hi Vadim,

If you're asking whether I think it's some other thing I'm doing, then
no.  There are other applications running, of course, but all that was
happening while I was trying to collect the data was that I was just
punching ctrl-R in the text.cpp program repeatedly.

I'm not sure I agree that it's a difference between gtk+ 2.8 and 2.10.
It's true that I'm running 2.10, but that's only because I hoped that
upgrading gtk+ would fix the problem.  I was running 2.8.20 when I
started experiencing the problem.  Of course, there could be a
difference between whatever 2.8 you're running and 2.8.20.

On the Fedora Core 1 machine where I *don't* experience the problem, gtk
2.2.4 is running.  I suppose I could try downgrading gtk to see if the
problem goes away, though I'm not sure it would necessarily help in
figuring out a workaround.  I'll look into it.
