Hello,
I was reading emails in Evolution, and something strange started happening - after deleting a message [or clicking on "next"] it would go to the previous message. And then, when I tried to open a message with some HTML and images etc in it, Evolution just hung. No matter what I tried, it just seemed locked. Wouldn't close or restore. I went looking for the "Task Manager" but suddenly found that the three finger salute brought up the Log Off menu! Anyway, logging off and back on again didn't help - Evolution was there again once logged in, still locked. Had to shut the machine down and restart to get things working again.
SO: next time, what should I do?
I'm using fluxbox (previously used blackbox) .. and this is my (windows ironic) solution to freezes
I've got a shorcut for ctrl-alt-delet which executes 'xkill'
and one for 'ctrl-alt-shift-insert' which brings up the gnome process monitor where I can close off any processes I want .. or even look at cpu usage.
PS: also if worse comes to worst don't forget 'ctrl-alt-backspace' ... and if even worst things happen:
ctrl-alt-printscreen-s (sync with the hdd the data) ctrl-alt-printscreen-b (reboot if nothing else works)
