OK, so I had a text file in which I wanted to make a vertical selection,
so I opened up kdevelop, yes I know, but can you tell me a simpler way to
do it?, and while navigating through the arcane setup wizard, the whole
desktop froze -- as in the keyboard, the panel, the window manager,
everything within window manager boxes.  I tried <ctrl>-<alt>-F1,
<ctrl>-<alt>-F7, <ctrl>-<alt>-<del>,
several-other-angry-random-key-combinations.  Is there a key command that
I can do when this happens?  Did GNOME really crash?  Can I do anything to
get a terminal as if I knew what I would do when I got one under the
circumstances, or restart the desktop, or otherwise in any other way
return control of the operating system back to the cluless end-user?
