Ok, I have solved this one. It is caused by a bad interaction between gnome-session's logout dialog box and xcompmgr. When the dialog is displayed, xcompmgr is frozen and so the screen will no longer update. It turns out the keyboard *does* work, but without the screen updating I didn't notice. :) (The xlsclients breakage is also caused by gnome-session's logout dialog box, BTW.) The same behaviour can be caused by sending xcompmgr SIGSTOP, including the blank screen when switching away from X and back again. I'm not reassigning the bug since I don't know whether this is the fault of gnome-session, or of xcompmgr. -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
