I use GNOME with FC2 and have encountered an odd circumstance. I was running K3b to burn some images, and it popped up some windows. When I shut it down, I killed the main window, and one remained. It is a small window, and is blank (normal background color for those windows). I can use the little buttons on the frame the [-] [o] [x] just fine, except that it won't go away. When I use the [-] box it does go on the task bar. But when I use the [x] box, eventually the "Window is not responding, [Cancel] or [Force Quit]" comes up. Selecting Force Quit does not make the window go away. I cannot find any process associated with that window using ps. I'm sure a reboot will fix this, but I'd like to have some idea what is going on.
Thanks for your time.

Can you go to the taskbar and right click and close it that way? I ran into that with k3b the other day, and that was the only way I could close it as well.

I tried that, and it didn't work. Nothing I tried would make that window go away. All I could get was the "Window is not responding" dialogue box.

Is it possible you updated your machine while K3b was open? Once in awhile, if I update a program that's open, it takes a session restart, or sometimes a reboot, to put behaviors back to normal

That is not possible. I use FC2.
Thanks for the reply.

Try xprop - this will envoke cursor, click on the window that you can't close, this will show you in the terminal the pid , something like: _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 13344. Then - "xprop | grep -i pid" - this will show you the process too. Then something like "ps -ef | grep pid"

This sounds like it might work. However, when that window was there, no process associated with K3b could be found on my machine. Anyway, I tried it on a window and grepped the output for PID, then did ps -A | grep <numeric PID> and out popped gnome-terminal. It's worth trying.
