This is just a complete shot-in-the-dark bug report, to see if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms. I don't imply that the following problem has anything to do with xmonad, though it would seem the prime suspect. Earlier today I was working in Firefox with a bunch of other windows open on screen, a bunch of other workspaces populated too. FF was working fine, but everything I tried to do *outside* of the browser didn't work. I couldn't mouse over other windows to give them focus. I couldn't switch to other workspaces. I couldn't move the focussed window around with mod-shift-j/k or choose a new master. I couldn't mod-q to restart, though I managed to switch to another virtual terminal and back (ctrl-alt-Fn) so the keyboard seems to have been responsive. If I'd been thinking at the time I would have tried to open another window from within Firefox to see what it would do. In the end I killed xmonad from the other VT and it all worked out fine. Has this ever happened to you? And secondarily, is there a way to mod-q Xmonad through a kill sig? Does it recognise SIGHUP?
