I'm probably not the most patient guy reading CLUE Tech, but I think I 
tried everything before giving up.  The Firefox stop-sign didn't react, 
two or three times.  The "close app X" didn't react. Ctl-Alt-Del had no 
effect.  I could move the mouse.  It seemed that I had no way to get an 
error report.

I think I waited four or so times longer than it took Linux and Firefox 
to respond later in the day.  I really had no choice except to kill it 
and get on with my day.

I don't have enough room in my dresser for all those T-shirts I could 
have bought.
