Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
When something does not respond on my desktop, I'm used to kill it it quickly by running xkill via Alt+F2.
Unfortunately, this does nothing on Unity (xkill does not launch).

After playing a bit with unity-applicati ons-daemon, I noticed that xkill does launch but it fails with "xkill: unable to grab cursor".
So, perhaps unity/places already grab the cursor?
