[Bug 537137] Re: No non-destructive way for a normal user to escape frozen full-screen apps

 

You didn't provide any explanation as to why you changed the package.
Changing back.

Regarding the freeze example I mentioned, I now found out why Battle for
Wesnoth svn is freezing, and it doesn't have anything to do with the
graphics card. The game doesn't even use 3D acceleration. So what the
hell does *fglrx-installer* has to do with this?

Let me remind you that the bug is that there is no way for an ordinary
user to escape a frozen full-screen app. Frozen full-screen apps happen
for a variety of reasons and you can't hope to fix them all. Therefore
you must provide a decent workaround so the user can avoid losing data.
And the X server seems to be the best place to put such a workaround.
