Hi there.
I'm not subscribed to the list so please cc any answers to my address. Thank
you.

My problem is this: I've just compiled Gnome (and libraries) for the computersystem
at my university (University of Copenhagen) and for some reason all Gnome
programs seem to open an anstonishing amount of files. A usual session gives
about  600-900 open file handles. We're using a bunch of Linuxboxes  servers
and SunRay-1 terminals. The Linux boxes apparently has a kernel default set
at about 1000 file descriptors meaning that only one student can run Gnome
at a time!

So is there any way of making gnome open less files?? Why does each gnome
program open so absurdly many files??

I've included a small section of lsof for the screenshooter applet in the
bottom and as far as I can see it's a whole lot of libraries. A linecount
is 119. I mean 119 open files for a goddam applet that absurd!

Can anyone help me out? Since gnome is currently using far to many resources
the computerdepartment want's me to remove Gnome if I can't make it use fewer
filehandles - and that would be a shame.

Regards Martin Leopold.
