Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfwm4
Write a little program that produces hundreds of windows. Then try to
stop it: you'll find that you cannot. Your mouse and keyboard actions
get ignored.
Execute this with python. I use the "python-matplotlib" module to make
plots simply because that's where I first got burned, and that's an easy
way to make lots of windows:
sudo aptitude install python-matplotlib
python <<ENDEND
import pylab
for i in range(400):
pylab.figure(i+1)
pylab.plot([1,2])
pylab.show()
ENDEND
