EXA, XAA, Xorg and Firefox memory leak

One month ago I was experiencing memory leaks with Firefox.
I did a fast check with "top" command and seen that when Firefox was running it started to overcharge Xorg, making it to use more and more CPU and Memory resources, near 95%!!!!!!!!
So I've decided to use Opera. That was a nice experience to use that super-fast browser. The problem is that Firefox is a key tool for my working day (I'm web developer).
Today I've launched Opera from the command line, and noticed this warning:
"opera: X Shared memory extension is not available. ZPixmap not supported"

research, finally i had discover a way to access visual foxpro
databases directly from linux. What do you need? download, compile and
install CLIP from http://sourceforge.net/projects/clip-itk/ then put
the vfp table into the same directory of the next script:

file: testdbf.prg

GLX fix for i915, benefits for OpenGL applications on many Intel Graphics chipsets

Today I decided to upgrade my debian(leny) box. The process was a classic/easy:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

Then I restarted my computer and Oh! my God!!! there seems to be something diferent, my hearth speed up and then I decided to test compiz-fusion.... Great! this is finally working!!!

Please forgive me, I've forget to explain that I use a relative old HP laptop: Compaq nx9030, that comes with i915 compatible Intel Graphics chipset:

How to fix: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Layout (Debian/lenny)

Finally I got some hours to rest and play my guitar. Then I opened my xterm and tried to run tuxguitar(to practice: ysellamaperu.mid from "El Rincón Musical Peruano") but....
There is a terrible and poor in expression "bug" (like 99% of "yankee" code):

Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

Safari on Linux? Yes! but terrible!!

One day after Safari's launch, Wine team was able to run Safari for Windows XP/Vista, look at this screenshot.
As an alternative you can try Konqueror (that uses WebCore based on KHTML) or, until they fix wine to get Safari running OK, try with BrowsrCamp.
Anyway, now web developers(me too!) have to test AJAX under Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari!!! r_r
Blessings!
