Description of Problem: If you goto a site that automatically redirects you to a download (Eg. sf.net) and are in the process of doing a drag and drop of a link to gnome-terminal as you do it. Then galeon will grab either the pointer or the server ... I'm not sure which "hanging" the server. I tried the ungrab functions in sawfish-client, but I've got a radeon so my VT is screwed up (mike's just fixed this :). Anyway a "kilall -9 galeon-bin" fixed everything. I'm also not sure it isn't a mozilla problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): galeon-1.2.3-1 mozilla-1.0rc3-0
Is this still an issue?
Yes, with version galeon-1.2.3-1 and mozilla-1.0rc3-0, goto... http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gcm/gcm-1.0-2.i386.rpm?download ...click on a link for a mirror. Then when the new link comes up click and hold the address and drag it to a gnome-terminal (_don't_ let go). Wait for the automatic redirect to do it's thing and the dialog to appear. Pretty much the only thing you can do now is Alt+Ctl+F1 and killall -9 galeon-bin.
What happens if you just hit ESC?
You're right, keyboard focus is in the dialog, ESC quits the dialog and then you can click inside the gnome-terminal to "drop" the drag and drop. It's still non-obvious that you can get out of it IMO, as the focus "outline" doesn't show in the dialog and the window isn't highlighted by the wm (well sawfish, maybe metacity is better in this regard ?) ... and of course the mouse doesn't work.
