hidden “not responding” dialog breaks the mouse for all applications
Sometimes, GNOME throws up one of these "not responding" dialogs in the background.
I cannot see this dialog, it is underneath other windows, but it has the side-effect of causing mouse clicks to be unresponsive for all applications globally.
This often happens when I am debugging, and it's a pain because I don't want to force the program to quit yet, so I have to hit "Wait" every few seconds.
Can I tell GNOME to let the mouse continue to work normally when this dialog is left up and unattended in the background?
