Hi All !

Today, something _really_ weird happened on my computer:

I was writing some tex file in emacs, and suddenly, a little blue Fish swam over my Display (no, I dont work underwater ;)
It looked similar to the one in this Fish-Applet for GNOME Panel.
After it stopped halfway between the upper-left corner and the center of the Screen, my system hang. Only the mouse was moveable, but no Keyboard Functions worked (no CTRL-ALT-F1, no CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, no CTRL-ALT-DELETE). As I was not at home, I had no other computer available to telnet, so I was forced to push the "reboot-and-do-fsck" button...

My System:

Sony Notebook P3-450
Debian potato, upgraded to testing, then upgraded to unstable (AFAIK you call this "sid")
Gnome 1.4
Xfree86 4.1.0
Kernel 2.4.16

IIRC I was running only xemacs, 2 terminals and xdvi.

Does anybody know what this fish does ? I have no screensaver enabled, and I was working all the time.
And don't tell me to do google "fish" :>

Martin
