Package: metacity Version: 1:2.14.5-4 Severity: important Within the last month or so, my desktop has started regularly hanging when I click on window buttons such as the minimize button or close ("X") button. The cursor still moves, but thereafter both mouse clicks and keyboard input are ignored. Position-sensitive behaviours still function, such as icons that highlight when you move over them or that pop-up descriptions, but if I click a second time anywhere on the screen while in this state then even that stops working.
Typing and clicking on things within applications does not trigger this problem. Switching to a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+Fn and killing metacity (which restarts) clears the condition. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (1001, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages metacity depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.6.1-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.20.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.1-5 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libmetacity0 1:2.14.5-4 library of lightweight GTK2 based ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii metacity-common 1:2.14.5-4 Shared files of lightweight GTK2 b metacity recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
