Package: mosaic, xserver-s3 Version: 2.7b5-2, 3.1.2-5 By playing with the globe icon while Mosaic was downloading a file (I was trying to abort a transfer, but it wasn't working) my X session was rendered inoperative.
The mouse and keyboard focus appeared to have become permanently lost. I could see the mouse cursor and move it around, but it did not change shape - it was locked on my xterm cursor shape, and twm thought that the focus was in an xterm window. Restarting window managers (I tried twm and fvwm) and killing clients, including the xterm that things seemed to think had the focus, had no useful effect. Other clients I was using: workman - an a.out version whose origins are unclear to me xmix (Debian 2.1-1) unclutter -noevents (Debian 0.8-11) emacs (Debian 19.29-3) twm, xclock, xterm, xload, xbiff*3 (Debian xbase 3.1.2-9) Ian.
