I had that problem too. Switching from LXDE to IceWM helped. I thought it was a memory issue as well.

I am a linux noob and am intrigued by the idea of having a linux GUI on my G1 and running linux applications. I have a few questions though...

Besides the actual graphical interface, what are the advantages of installing this on your phone in terms of running applications? I'm not proficient in linux commands, would GUI make it easier for me run linux applications? I'm mostly thinking in terms of running basic applications (internet browser, email, word processing software etc etc).

It seems to me (in theory) that a GUI interface would make it easier to run these types of applications where a graphical interface is needed.

Did you find a fix for it? If so, what was it?

The fix was running IceWM instead of LXDE.
