Frozen Desktop

New to Usenet also I guess. Advocacy isn't the place for technical questions, it is for flamefests. Sounds like your question would belong to comp.os.linux.setup.

Also, you need to supply more information, starting with which desktop you are using. Please visit the following web site for more info on how to ask good questions on Usenet:

I never said it happened to me. I just know that it happens. Can't you read without making assumptions?

And this has what to do with stability again?

An editor I use, PFE, will sometimes freak out on some OLE call. When you try to shut down or log out, the 'raster effect' on the screen will just go away and most other applications will close. It won't actually exit tho.

A video player (zplayer) I use does the same thing, but I dunno if the reason is the same.

Those two are the ones I've been able to actually pinpoint causing it, sometimes it happens and I don't know why (shutting down a second time helps once in a while, logging out instead of shutting down does occasionally as well).

So you /did/ know of one, and yet tried to imply ms windows doesn't suffer from this thing? Nice touch.

Perhaps I should have let you win this one so you could claim the retard prize you so desperately covet (what other reason would you have to argue anything if not to win the argument, if as you claim it's not just to stir things up), hmm?
