Has anyone ever hit this before? I was trying to build some special script files for vim, and had to enter a control-v esc character sequence into the script. I tried twice, got a system activity pop-up window which shows active jobs (obviously a desk-top shortcut) and I hit esc again (or control-V or both).
Suddenly a dead-man skull icon appears, my mouse goes inactive, I cannot click on any of my X-windows and the skull is the mouse pointer. Finally after about 20 secs or so, the mouse pointer reverts back to the traditional pointer. But all windows had been terminated, including all my active jobs. I did a google image search on "Linux Kill X Windows icon" but nothing comes up matching the skull icon. How can I disable this feature so it won't be accidently invoked again? This is quite painful and I don't want to have to restart jobs which have been running for hours. Thanks. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
