Hi fvwm_at_fvwm.org
i try to explain my problem first:
when I press the pulldown menu of netscape the menu shows up as
expected, but once in a month netscape refuses to continue, it simply
stalls. When showing up the pulldown menu the mouse pointer changes its
shape, e.g. from an "X" to an arrow pointing north-east. A further
consequence of this is I can't focus any other windows anymore. Netscape
(or netscape's pull down menu) doesn't release the focus.
So I switch back to a virtual console via CTRL-ALT-F1 and kill netscape
with "pkill -9 netscape". switiching back to X reveals that netscape is
really dead but unfortunately the mouse is still an arrow pointing
north-east and thus I can't focus any other windows leaving X-windows in
an unusable state. now i have to kill x-windows from a virtual console
and start it, again ;-(
I hope that there is a way to restart fvwm from the console?
Maybe there are some other suggestions?
thanks for any help.
oh, here is my machine:
