Mouse skull and Xbones
Sometimes when running a virtual machine in full screen mode and after pressing CTL-ALT-ESC my mouse pointer turns into a skull and Xbones. If I don't notice and move it onto another window it kills the application. It seems to be fairly random. Have I got something configured incorrectly? PS. I am running Beta 2.0 build 462 under SuSE Linux 6.3 Regards Bryan Lovquist |

I am running Beta 2.0 build 462 under SuSE Linux 6.3 Check your window manager configuration. It sounds like your window manager may have CTL-ALT-ESC bound to kill a window and when you go back to X this gets caught and executes the kill function. -- Ted Rathkopf |

So, if you accidentally hit Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the mouse isn't grabbed, KDE turns it into a X-Kill request... I believe you can disable this via the KDE Control Application, but I am not certain.

Re: Mouse skull and Xbones
Bryan,
In KDE, to modify the key binding for "kill window", from the taskbar Select KDE > Settings > Keys > Global Keys Under the tab Global shortcuts, there will be an Action Kill window mode CTRL+ALT+Escape Select this entry, then select No key or Custom key The rest should be obvious Elizabeth Bryan Lovquist wrote: > > Hello > > Sometimes when running a virtual machine in full screen mode and after pressing CTL-ALT-ESC my mouse pointer turns into a skull and Xbones.
