Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screenshot
I dropped a notebook on my keyboard's Print Screen button. It sat there for a few moments before I noticed it. I got hundreds of pop-ups trying to take a screenshot. I tried banging 'Esc' but could not close them fast enough, and they continued to pop up for several minutes, while my system became unusable. I was forced to reboot the system.
The default Ubuntu desktop settings should protect me from accidentally opening more than, oh, a few dozen instances of gnome-screenshot at a time.
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (release 10.04).
