Re: GWorkspace in unknown state: bug?

[Dennis Leeuw]

And some additional information:
Killing X and restarting doesn't solve the problem, neighter does 
killing any of the GNUstep/GWorkspace daemons. Removing 
/tmp/GNUstepSecure1000 killing all daemons, killing X and starting 
everything doesn't help also.

Rebooting the laptop solved the problem.

This does sound like Windows... :)

I have no clue what to do next.

Thanks,

Dennis
