Comment 14 for bug 3294

Happens to me when using Empathy 2.30.1 on Lucid... it's really killing me :( if u click by mistake and drag (often happens on touchpad...) the mouse stays in the 'dragging mode' and the keyboard dies...

 Ctrl+F_ works sometimes - when that happens i can "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"

But then i lose what i was doing :/ The compiz shortcuts still work before doing that. Nothing else does.

Other times that dies completely and i have to just hold the power button :'(

Happy to provide more info if needed.
