One solution I dound with difficulty is that Alt+F4 (I think) kills
the "frowning computer" and (at least in my case) leaves you with a
working system. Surely something to be improved in the UI....

  Really? That's so funny.

  Certainly it is the most useless error message I ever saw. It should at least indicate form which direction the error came from. Maybe the author of that piece of software felt it too embarrassing to reveal the source of this message.

     Best,
