2006-09-12 20:45:31 didier None: statusexplanation Can you retry after upgrading? There's a change in Metacity which could fix it. I believe I've seen it too. in my case shading/unshading the window by clicking on the window title solved it, you may have to change yours windows preferences.

2006-10-09 17:13:34 True-night description When I am logged into X (edgy), at some point the keyboard will completely stop responding in X. On the console it still works however: I can switch using ctrl+alt+n to a console and work from there. ctrl+alt+backspace works, too. This happens to be the easiest way to solve the problem, as X will be restarted. The mouse keeps working however,so luckily, I am able to save my work before restrarting X Moreover, when my keyboard dies I am not able to enter any of gnome's menus (applications, places, systems). When I click one of these menus, something like an empty tooltip (maybe an empty menu) appears, but no menu. I don't know what to do to trigger this bug; at this time it seems to occur randomly to me. If you have any suggestions to help debug this problem, please notify me.
