if I press "sysrq" to take a screenshot, or if I run "gnome-screenshot" from a
command line, I don't see anything for 30 or 35 seconds. then the screenshot
window appears.

this is a new problem - it wasn't happening a few days ago.

I'm using the current breezy packages, although I did recently switch from the
386 kernel to the 686 kernel.

I am attaching an "strace" log of the program starting up. In this log I hit
control-c just a half a second or so after the window appeared.

You'll notice in the log that there are 16 calls to "futux()" which take over
1.5 seconds. That's where the delay is coming from.

I'll try rebooting into the old 386 kernel and see if the problem persists.
