I don't know about anyone else, but I encounter this bug when my gnome
session or x server crashes, as sadly does still happen from time to
time, and either exits of its own accord or needs to be killed.  Bad
enough that my session crashed; worse that to the non-expert user it
looks like the whole machine broke and needs to be restarted.
