I use Wine 0.0.980315-1 on my hamm system to run Forte's Agent newsreader, which frequently crashes, locking up my X server. When this happens, I go back to a console and use the ps a command to identify the PID then kill it, which usually returns my system to normal.
Just a little while ago it happened again, but when I typed ps a I did not see the Wine/Agent PID even though Agent was still frozen in my X screen. I tried various arguments to ps in addition to a, but was unable to obtain the PID and could not kill Wine/Agent, so I finally resorted to a reboot to restore order. I realize this act is sacrilege, forgive me and show me the error of my ways. Does anyone know why I was unable to list the PID? And how do I kill the X server when it locks up?
