Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.1-3
Severity: normal

With both Windows 98 SE and Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) as the guest OS I have been 
having issues with qemu where the virtual machine will hang, and, if the mouse 
is grabbed, prevent any mouse or keyboard under X when that happens (for all of 
X; only way out is to kill qemu from a VT, then I can use the keyboard to exit 
X, which is necessary to reset the grabbed mouse).

I haven't found a pattern, and when I exit X and restart it (usually 
automatically by logging out of a gnome session, which restart the X server) X 
starts on a new VT leaving the old VT empty.  Also some X programs that try to 
access display :0.0 report they cannot when this happens; it seems the qemu 
forced exit is leaving X in a state it can't get out of.

I haven't been able to find a pattern to these crashes; they just happen in 
middle of some activity like installing or running a program (as mentioned, 
with both Win98SE and Gutsy) and is disturbing because it screws up X in the 
process.
