Greets, folks . . .
This is a weird one. I unfortunately have the RAW-handling photo
application LightZone as forst in my RAW file association, so when I
accidentally clicked on a RAW file today it opened. (It didn't open that
file, btw, because LightZone is flaky and opens what it had open the last
time it was run, just one of several reasons I really don't like it.) I
tried to close LightZone, but it wouldn't close. I did 'killall
lightzone', but nope, still there. Mouse arrow turns to
point-left-horizontally when I enter the window. Top reports no LightZone
processes running. I have deleted LightZone and its configuration files.
Still no joy.
I have a *huge* file copy underway -- should take the next 10 hours or so.
So I'd just as soon not reboot.
Oddly, I can still moved the window around, maximize it, minimize it --
just not close it entirely. It seems to have just enough aslive that I
can't get a "window not responding" error. Nothing inside the window,
which is to say in the program itself, responds at all.
Whatcha think?
Any idea how to kill it?
I've never encountered such a thing before.
