Hello All, I have recurring problem (not often) which started just recently. Thus far it appears random. The problem is that all my open windows freeze, can't be moved and do not respond to any input. I can open a terminal window (from icon) but cannot get input focus in this window I run gkrellm and that shows that the system is chugging along OK. If I use alt-F2 I can enter 'startx' and then all windows respond as they should. I am running an up to date Fedora 21 x86_64, and using Cinnamon. What might be the likely causes of this behaviour? Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell

Sounds to me like the window manager is crashing and not respawning.

I guess that would be Cinnamon. I'm running cinnamon-2.4.6-2.fc21.x86_64. I'll see if there are any bug reports. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell

It seems it might be muffin that's managing windows on cinnamon. An update to muffin just arrived, so hopefully that will improve things. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
