Strangley, this happens...


baal: {236} ps -xa | grep gedit
   161 ??  Rs   10902:11.95 gedit
baal: {237} sudo kill 9 161
baal: {238} ps -xa | grep gedit
   161 ??  Rs   10903:40.58 gedit
baal: {239} su
Password:
baal: {1} kill 9 161
baal: {2} ps -xa | grep gedit
   161 ??  Rs   10904:51.02 gedit
baal: {3} exit
baal: {4} exit
baal: {240}

I can start all the gedit's I like, but none of them show in
the window. I can kill all of them except for the one above.
I think it is has hung, problably because I closed the window
in BlackBox rather than using the pull-down exit.

Can I get around this short of a cold reboot?

TIA,

Gan
