I wasn't doing anything processor intensive, but I could not open anything. I'd double click on the terminal icon that is on the desktop and it would act like it was trying to do something, but then nothing happened. I tried to open the "Control Panel", also an icon from the desktop but to no avail as well. I couldn't even start a program from the menus when right clicking on the desktop to display the menu. I was, however, able to exit the window manager and then re-open it, at which time all worked as expected. Does anyone else experience such things with Window Maker and if so, short of restarting Window Maker, how does one go about correcting it? Thanks, Andy
