If you disable compiz, or play around with it enough, you will most certainly realize a compromise between functionality-beauty-stability. Closing a window that has freezed, well temporarly freezed, is not an option by me since it only occurs with firefox, or HD movies, and it is frozen for a few seconds, so it would be like going with a bazooka to hunt a fly. But the other suggestions are quite nice. mostly a frozen window, any way in my experience, occurs because compiz is activated and there is a conflict with the drivers or the video card is a little old.

ps -ax | grep startx

you can use the easier to remember
pgrep startx

to get the PID of your XServer

Cheers, Stephane Hello

There are lots of blog scrappers. This one seems to be copying everything blatantly. Well, you can’t really help and this isn’t the first case. There are lots of blog scrappers.

Then to restart it I also have to do: ps -ef | grep iceweasel then I kill the number of the iceweasel/firefox/bin process. "kill 2209" for example, then I can restart iceweasel without having to reboot. Ctrl+Alt+Esc and click on the frozen window works for me to kill iceweasel when it freezes.

He is a Linux System Engineer working for a reputed company and the commands are perhaps what most *nix user would know. Btw, you got a good printable version out there and I hope other readers will like it. (Yours is a good resource and I don't needed to moderate your link nor your text.) :-) @Brady
