You are running that under X? Can you try a remote login or use an external terminal? Maybe this application just blocks all mouse and key events from X so you can't even Zap it or switch to another console. But login via terminals or network still works. I don't know xfte, maybe this is a Motif application which are quite vulnerable to this bug (as Motif is quite buggy here). I have seen that behaviour with Netscape (3.01, I think) and Staroffice (both statically linked with Motif), but unreproducable. Netscape 4.03 even crashed my X completely (quitting it) one times.
