Interesting. I wonder if switching to a different desktop, such as MATE or
Cinnamon, would help.

It just happened again. One of the stations called me just now
reporting they couldn't get a window to close. The system wasn't
responding to regular mouse clicks, only to control/left click,
which it interpreted as left-click.
I opened a terminal window and quickly discovered that, as
before, I couldn't type anything, but control/alt/d seemed to
fix the problem. According to Google, that's a keyboard shortcut
for "show desktop".
What I can't figure out is what's triggering the problem in the
first place, and why I've never encountered it before last week.
I’ve seen stuff like this happen occasionally when using VNC. The cure has
always been to restart the window manager, by doing (as root):
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
[wait 10 seconds]
systemctl isolate graphical.target
Unfortunately, this will also kill rdairplay(1), thus interrupting any
on-air playout.
Perhaps a VNC client acting badly? Has there been a recent change in remote
access patterns to this system —e.g. somebody using a different VNC client?
Cheers!
