Hi, assume a, for whatever reason, frozen KDE desktop. The mouse arrow is still moving, but not changing anymore when over an icon, whereever clicking leads to no result. The only solution to work again will be the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination to get to work again. Is there a way to login to the machine via SSH or at the console and to tell some programs, e.g. openoffice to detach from the KDE gui, so that I can restart the KDE gui, log in again, then I have to find the process waiting in the background and tell it to attach to the new KDE gui? This would help me keep The functionality may be comparable to the screen utility for text based logins. Does sth. like this exist, and if so, how do I make use of it? kind regards Sebastian ___________________________________________________ .
