Hi!

I use gnome 2.16.2 stable but I have a little problem while using some
apps. The problem starts in just some applications when I am triying to
"Open file" or "Browse" ( actually browsing folders ) , the effect is
that the program gets stuck waiting for the "browse window" to open.
I've seen this effect in VmWare or Cedega Transgaming, among others. If
I use the same program and do the same thing with KDE or XFCE it works
well, but since Gnome is my prefered desktop, I find it very frustrating
to restart X and change desktop every time I need these apps.
