By the way, and I realize this is a peculiar question for me to ask, considering where I work. Has anyone notice lockups running vmw Workstation? <div>Oh, and apologies for using this mailing list allot - this has to be my fourth or fifth question in the last few months.<br>

If you have another system, you can always SSH in (assuming you<br>
installed the SSH server) and kill those procs.<br>
<br>
I have my screensaver lock up occasionally (probably due to a VirtualBox<br>
I have running, with other apps inside that) and I have to go in via SSH<br>
and kill the gnome-screensaver daemon.<br>
<br>
If you just have a dead window, if clicking the 'X' doesn't eventually<br>
bring up the 'force quit' window, you can 'xkill' at a terminal, and<br>
then you click on the window to kill. I haven't used that in a while,<br>
though, since I usually have three systems running at my desk at a time.<br>
