Package: icewm Version: 1.2.28-4 Severity: normal When running an application inside icewm that hangs (i.e. stops updating, presumably some underlying crash) while one of its menu or drop-down list widgets is in use and in focus, icewm itself refuses to acknowledge any user input. No toolbar buttons respond to being clicked, no virtual desktop switching via either hotkey or moving the mouse to the edge of the screen, no alt-tab, no focus-follows-mouse. An example of this is when firefox hangs while the drop-down history of the location bar is being used; icewm becomes unusable until the client is killed via external means. This can also be reproduced with other applications, such as the right-button menu on xmms being in use just before I SIGSTOP the process (I can't find ways to make xmms hang by accident :) ). >From the point of view of a non-expert user, this is catastrophic, in that a buggy application can destroy an entire desktop session by hanging at just the wrong moment. Of course, more experienced users can simply use a VT.
