If you are running KDE, hit CTRL-ESC, that brings up the KDE system guard process table and you can kill locked processes there. If you are in another wm, you can try to bring up a console, su to root and do a ps -A to find the errant process id and just issue a kill pid. I haven't used Gnome for a while so I don't know which keyboard shortcut brings up the process list there. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
