I just found a possible explanation for the loss of control. While using
Gnumeric, I experienced the following: If you add a data filter to a column
(Data -> Filter), and then click on the little arrow in the top cell to display
all the values you can filter for, all other areas of the screen become
unresponsive to any mouse clicks, the computer becomes unresponsive to keyboard
shortcuts and even the On/Off button causes no response! All you can do is to
click somewhere in the list to apply the filter or press Esc on the keyboard to
leave the mask. I believe that this is a major flaw in the operating system, as
any program causing such a state and then crashing can cause the behaviour
described in this bug report. This does not explain why LO crashes, but it does
explain how a crash of LO could freeze the whole OS.

Cheers
Stan
