Hello
Be warned... I ran "pixedit", then it wanted me to pick a windows to edit the pixel.
No matter what I clicked, it did not accept that... Okay, that is understandable.
But then I wanted to stop pixedit.. No way!
There just was not means to "get out of" it.. I could not switch to another screen, terminal, nothing.
The only solution that I found was to go to my SuSE router box, log in there, SSH from there back to my workstation, and kill that process..
Next time try:
1) Ctl-Alt-ESC
This will give you a 'skull and crossbones' icon (a killer)
2) Click on the window running the offending program to kill it.
...stupid software...
