Description of problem: If Anaconda should have a problem such as hitting an exception and be forced to exit, the computer is left in a useless state. After being given the opportunity to save debug/traceback info, once you select "Exit" the screen goes completely black with just a mouse pointer. Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work (unless you switch the VT, but many users won't know that). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 12 Beta (x86_64) - anaconda 12.37 How reproducible: Tickle any known amanda bug which provokes an exception (e.g. bug #527084). Actual results: Black screen, except for mouse pointer. ctrl-alt-del has no effect. No apparent way forward. Expected results: IMO, a dialog box should come up offering the user the choice of restarting or shutting down.
Oops, where I said "amanda bug" I did of course mean anaconda.
