Bug Description

When Gnome Do freezes while accepting keyboard input, it becomes impossible to do anything, because all keyboard and mouse input are still being received by Gnome Do. The only way to kill Do in this case is to use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to change to a VT and log in and use "pkill gnome-do", or else use Alt+PrintScrn+K to kill X. I guess it would be nice to have a way to force Do to relinquish its input capturing so I can switch to another application and kill it.

awaiting the problem anxiously with:
"mono --trace=N:Do.Core /usr/lib/gnome-do/Do.exe | gzip > ~/huge-debug-spew.gz"
Read with: gunzip -c huge-debug-spew.gz | tail -n 1000
Hopefully I get something to attach.
