Are you running it from GNOME. If you are, I think you can XKill them,
rather than close them conventionally, log out and restart XServer. I
have something similar happen every now and then and that seems to work,
although sometimes it takes two or three stabs at it. There is probably
a better way, but I'll do whatever works until I find out the proper
way. It doesn't *seem* to hurt anything. I used to get frustrated and
re-install when several of these kind of things happened, but now I have
learned to be much more patient. It pays off, because the last
installation I did has been running since 8.0 came out and is the most
stable system I've ever had. The longer I leave it up, the less crashes
I have. Hope this helps.

The most serious doubt that has been thrown on the authenticity of the
biblical miracles is the fact that most of the witnesses in regard to
them were fishermen.
