Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.6.2-1
Severity: important
Clicking the 'Editor' launcher, which is part of the default Xfce panel
configuration (Panel 2, at the bottom) in squeeze, freezes the entire X
session (xfce4-session). The mouse pointer moves, but programs do not
react to mouse clicks or keypresses. Apparently, the only way to
recover is to kill -9 the session from the console.
The launcher runs sensible-editor, which in turn runs joe.
There are two issues here: First, the launcher should either run an X
editor, or run sensible-editor from the terminal. Second, the design of
the launchers is very non-robust. Such a misconfiguration should not
hang the entire X session.

No problem, at least we know exactly where was the problem and when it
has been fixed.
