This is just a complete shot-in-the-dark bug report, to see if anyone<br>else has experienced similar symptoms. I don't imply that the<br>following problem has anything to do with xmonad, though it would seem<br>the prime suspect.
<br><br>Earlier today I was working in Firefox with a bunch of other windows<br>open on screen, a bunch of other workspaces populated too. FF was<br>working fine, but everything I tried to do *outside* of the browser<br>didn't work. I couldn't mouse over other windows to give them focus. I
<br>couldn't switch to other workspaces. I couldn't move the focussed<br>window around with mod-shift-j/k or choose a new master.<br><br>I couldn't mod-q to restart, though I managed to switch to another<br>virtual terminal and back (ctrl-alt-Fn) so the keyboard seems to have
<br>been responsive. If I'd been thinking at the time I would have tried<br>to open another window from within Firefox to see what it would do. In<br>the end I killed xmonad from the other VT and it all worked out fine.
<br><br>Has this ever happened to you? And secondarily, is there a way to<br>mod-q Xmonad through a kill sig? Does it recognise SIGHUP?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>D.<br><font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><br>That sounds like something I've experienced. Firefox still responded to the keyboard and mouse, right? Next time it happens, try opening another window from within firefox -- when I've experienced this sort of thing, opening another window has fixed the problem. Very strange, at any rate...
