Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
If a gtk menu pops up and the program goes to sleep, then the whole desktop freezes. I modified a python gtk program available here:
http://
The attached program has been slightly modified to sleep in the callback when the button is pressed. I expect this one application to become unresponsive. Instead, the entire desktop hangs (like how Windows hangs!).
So if a (buggy) app does some infinitely blocking operation, then I have to restart my session. I think this is a serious problem.
Please investigate.
