Public bug reported:
Applications fail to start when selected from menus. The Starting
*application* button appears on the lower panel (Gnome), hangs there for
a few seconds, then disappears. Shutdown/logout/reset impossible as the
panel doesn't come up. Ctrl-alt-backspace restores function but
obviously interrupts work.
What's interesting is that applications which were active at the time of
the ?crash? function normally, and will open again once closed (last
tried with Firefox). Haven't had terminal open when it happens so no
information on apps started from there.
Unable to reproduce.
Happened about five times since a clean install of Edgy about a week
ago.
The machine is HP NX6110.
