Great!
I didn't know about this.
Odd: this looks like it is going to run the "r" shell command, but there is no such command. Hardwired magic?
I tried it. Each of my windows came back blank until I selected it. Odd. For me, Alt+F2 brought up a little GUI single-line command widget. Then I typed 'r' and it restarted gnome. Whether the 'r' would have worked in a terminal, I don't know. I'll try it if gnome hangs again, in the future. If not, that I guess would mean that Alt+F2 would be analogous to typing some command, then the 'r' would be the switch (if they even call it that in linux) that restarts gnome. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
