well, with the patch when the clock is adjusted backwards everything works except that I can not change window fucus. But since I can now enter things into a terminal I can then restart openbox (using 'openbox --replace' since I'm runnig gnome) and that clears things up immediately.
So that's an anoyance, but at least it doesn't kill my system. I wonder if there would be a way to have openbox automatically restart when the system clock is adjusted. . . -- Clicking "Synchronize Now" in Time and Date Settings causes ubuntu to stop responding https://launchpad.net/bugs/49876 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
