Galeon-CVS Sun Jun 29, 00:23. I was doing alot of reading on a page and clicked the third mouse button to bring up the arrows(it's a static circle with arrows in all four directions you can move, i hope i make some sense). I had clicked it and had moved the mouse a little bit down so the text had started to slowly scroll and i had been doing this for a couple of seconds. Suddenly a dialog window appeared which looked like this: Galeon ! The operation timed out when attempting to contact pageone.pointclark.net [ OK ] This was a site I had been trying to reach a couple of times which was "waiting" in the background. The thing is, the mouse was still in the 4 arrows scroll state and there where no way to interact with anything on the system(not via keyboard either) the only way out was <CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE> to get out of XFree86.
