From: Richard L Garcia <rlgarcia@MIT.EDU>

System name:		aeneid.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-5_10 9.1.15
Display type:		m

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?
	Nothing--literally.

What's wrong:
	Display froze. Console window showed two error messages:
	"xss: couldn't grab pointer! (AlreadyGrabbed)"
	"xss: unable to grab keyboard or mouse! Blanking aborted."

What should have happened:
	Normal xss behavior.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	??

I was running StarOffice 6.0 at the time, plus exmh and Netscape
4.78. With no response from the keyboard or the mouse, the only thing
I could do was to turn off the machine and reboot.
