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.
