you might try looking up the xorg.conf setting, AllowDeactivateGrabs it may help depending on if its supported in your X server (has been varying over the years, haven't tried it recently) otherwise starting up gdb from the console or ssh and attaching to the process with --pid I agree that its annoying, but really I don't think its anything specific to Greg's patch, I'd run into the same with GNUstep years ago. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
