Re: [g-a-devel] An at-spi/gnome development how to question

Thanks for all the responses.

In summary, if my Gnome session freezes, one way to unfreeze:

1. kill the at-spi-registryd process
   -- should unfreeze Gnome
2. if Gnome is working now, log out, log back in
   -- should restart at-spi-registryd

I found some instructions on the internet for stopping and starting
Gnome, I'll try those if the above fails:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/02/08/starting-and-stopping-gnome-fro
m-the-command-line/

To Steve Lee:  My Gnome session is working fine at the moment.  I tried
typing Ctrl+Alt+F1, ...+F2, etc.  This did nothing -- no new terminal
session was created.  I started VI and tried to insert those characters,
they are not making it to into the system from what I can tell.  It is
possible that VMware is grabbing them.

You need to exit from you current gnome-session and log back again into
it.
