I actually had a similar problem with gnome, especially when alt+f4'ing mozilla applications: I lose all keyboard control. I have to click somewhere before my keyboard started working again. I've always had this problem and this was one of the reasons why I switched to KDE. It's probably a metacity bug or something. The issue you describe, no input working at all (you can only move the mouse, clicking doesn't do anything, keyboard unresponsive), I've encountered this before with broken drivers or broken hardware, I can't remember which one it was. What graphics card do you have? IIRC this happened to me with nvidia hardware. Is there a pattern in this happening? Such as on certain applications? _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
