Public bug reported:
alright, i just crashed the entire gui session of my ubuntu box by doing
the following:
had ktorrent running in tray & played stepmania in fullscreen. then ktorrent
had a torrent completed and tried to pop up a window in which it checks the
completed download, this window wants to pop in foreground and bam!
--> keyboard froze
--> trackpad froze
--> still in fullscreen mode and music keeps playing, funny
- Tried to alt+F4, ctrl+C, ctrl+D, ctrl+<any key>, ctrl+alt+backspace, and
every possible variation, no effect
- Tried alt+ctrl+F5 to change runlevel, worked, tried to kill gdm, Xorg, from
other runlevel (with sudo), no effect
--> reboot
box is samsung laptop with nvidia drivers and ubuntu 9.10 + latest
updates.
PS: running hedgewars in fullscreen also causes lockup in fullscreen sometimes,
and i'd bet even more games/app would, if one tried
PPS: why the frack does ktorrent use a fracking popup window to check its
chunks? do it in fracking background, like normal programs!
