I've never seen anything like this on CentOS > 5, at least not so far.... I am using Fedora7 The triggering factor seems to be a application which has hung/frozen such as epiphany/evolution. Click on close will freeze the entire desktop ( as in keyboard input ) ps will list metacity-dialog window which is not visible on screen. Killing metacity, metacity-dialog tends to resolve this issue. If this fails, kill epiphany/evolution along with metacity/metacity-dialog. > > Thanks. > > mhr > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-list mailing list > gnome-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list -- Ritesh Khadgaray ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ Desktop LinuX N Stuff Ph: +919970164885 Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway.
