Complete interface, meaning: - All running apps, e.g. I can no longer changes tabs in rekonq, switch to a different mail in kmail, switch from kmail to akregator in kontakt - KWin effects, e.g. cube animation for desktop switch hangs in the middle of the effect - Text input into e.g. kwrite. Since I am mostly using kde software, I am not sure if gtk is affected also, but I would guess so, since in my view the busy disk is the cause of all evil. :) The mouse pointer is movable all the time, but the system does not respond to clicks.
