Very strange. I was using MPlayer in a gnome-terminal to watch somethign and then all of a sudden, all of my gnome-terminal windows were "blank" and unresponsive. They would not interact and their tabs were gone, but tab background was still there. Also, at the same time, my galeon windows were unresponsive.
So I do a "ps" to see what is going on and there is no gnome-terminal
running, as well as no galeon processes. But their "windows" (as
blank and unresponsive as they are) are still there. I.e. I have the
window borders and titles, but nothing in them and nothing in the
process list to explain them being there:

See, no gnome-terminal and no galeon processes, yet I still have the
window decorations from both. Also, from my .xsession-errors:
/usr/bin/soundwrapper: line 11: 3580 Segmentation fault esddsp "$@"
I believe this is galeon. I think galeon starts with the
soundwrapper.
Thots?
