new xfwm4 hangs phoenix

[Ric]

Hi:

Thanks Olivier.

It is/was the bookmarks.html file - somehow phoenix decided to put MORE than
20,000 Horizontal Rules(<HR>) into the file! ...so, it gets to here(strace
output) 
 
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x807af90, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x40043358}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) =
0
wait4(-1, 

and just waits & waits and waits... iguess trying to load all those <HR>.

It must just have been a coincidence that phoenix started to 'hang' just after
installing the new xfwm4.  Sure is strange; basically means that phoenix is
unusable as an everyday browser... AYA one bites the dust.:(

Thanks for the help.

Gardening tip:
The preferred targets of yellow jackets are sweet fruit such as strawberries, 
blueberries, tree fruit, melons and the gardeners who tend them. Damage signs 
include holes in ripe fruit and a buzzing noise followed by a sharp pain.
