For those of you just joining the thread, the bug is that if you hit Ctrl-r
to reload the document and get prompted "REPOST DATA?" and if you hit the
space bar on OK or tab-enter quickly or click at the same time, sound keeps
playing fine, you can move the cursor but you are not able to click on
anything or keyboard out.  In fact, if I hit Caps-Lock or NumLock the
keyboard light doesn't even register.

So far it is just Galeon.

I think I tried Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and your suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2
but I shall have to try that again if Galeon bombs out.  Thanks for the tip!
