I don't know if this is a Gnome2 bug, sorry.  I have many Gnome2
libs installed on my machine.

I have two Galeon windows open.  One of them is trying to access
a web site which is taking a while to respond.  Meanwhile, I am
reading a document in the other.  In the window I am reading, I
have auto-scrolling active.  I have auto-scrolling enabled on my
middle mouse button.  The cursor is in "East-West-North-South arrows
mode" when all of a sudden the second window pops up an error dialog
to the effect that "operation has timed out ...".  The only thing
Galeon will accept now is a click on the "OK" button in that error
dialog, but the cursor is stuck in "East-West-North-South" mode
and I am unable to click the OK.  Also, I cannot go back to the first
window to get out of the auto-scroll mode because the error dialog
is blocking everyting.  Fortunately, it occurred to me to just hit
the Return key on the keyboard, but this is not an obvious escape
route.

Just thougth I'd mention it.  

Keep up the great work.
