Which I thought was impossible. Neophyte question, no doubt, but googling was less than helpful (which probably means I'm fubar, no doubt). Anyway, I have a certain common X app (xmms) that likes to hang (since my last buildworld, it seems) when when it's right about to open a file-choosing dialog. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot. Now, given the behavior, I'd have to suspect something underlying as the true source of the problem, but shouldn't kill kill it anyway - I mean, isn't there some way to kill a process that's stuck waiting on a child process? I haven't figured out how to "ps -ax grep | some neublous file dialog process" yet...so I'm sort of stuck wanting to kill the parent...
