User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Strange desktop problem: Gnome locks up when I start JBoss5.1GA": http://community.jboss.org/message/518839#518839 Author : Jamie S Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/jamie.s Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, Thanks!   java -version java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)   top reports upwards of 175%CPU during startup... but then it quiets down to minimal. Things are fine until after JBoss prints "started in XXs:XXXms"   I am thinking some sort of socket conflict... I will probably poke around the metacity website or something.     Jamie. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/518839#518839
