1 Last night my laptop began having two problems.
2
3 First, when I paste with middle-click of the mouse into Firefox, there is no
4 output on the screen for about 2-3 seconds. In Libreoffice it takes about
5 7-8s, and then the mouse cursor doesn't change from the I-beam back to the
6 pointer for another 2s or so. Pasting into urvxt seems instantaneous, although
7 last night I did have some issues with a tab or urxvt where I had ssh'ed into
8 a server running irssi in screen -- the backspace key seemed to be stuck, but
9 that stopped after I did a ^A^D and then "screen -dx 17169.pts-3.server".
10
11 Second, there is an image from Workspace 1 showing up on top of the app
12 running in Workspace 2. The first screenshot I took to show this had the
13 xfce-extra/xfce4-screenshooter app appearing there, also. I've used it many
14 times and never saw this behavior. I tried another screenshot to move it off
15 the app (which, btw, is Teamviewer), to show that it was still in the desktop
16 area, and it left these <whatever you call it's> in the second screenshot.
17 Actually, in the second screenshot you can't see anything that was dragged off
18 of the Teamviewer (open app) area, just whatever is on it.

20 Yesterday this laptop had four updates:
21 dev-libs/gmp-5.1.2
22 media-video/ffmpeg-1.0.7
23 net-firewall/iptables-1.4.20
24 app-admin/logrotate-3.8.6
25
26 All of them are stable amd64, and there were no USE flag changes to them or to
27 make.conf.
28
29 It seems ffmpeg is the only one of those that could have caused it, so I
30 thought to downgrade and see. However, there doesn't seem to be any downgrade
31 path for ffmpeg:
