If I type 'sudo wireshark' in the verve plugin and hit enter instead of ctrl+enter the X process hangs waiting on user input that you can't ever enter.

The mouse still works and you can ssh in and kill the X session remotely.  Killing sudo doesn't return keyboard "focus" to X.

I don't know if this matters but I start X with startx and I have "exec startxfce4" in my .xsession.

Can't reproduce this here. If I e.g. try to mount a remote filesystem via FUSE and SSHFS (which asks for a password on my machine), nothing hangs.

I have the same problem, i tried to run ssh but pressed enter instead of ctrl+enter.  the process ssh had 99.9% cpu usage, but even after killing it X hang  although I could still use the mouse.

xfce version 4.4.1
verve version 0.3.5
Linux 2.6.18-gentoo-r4 #5 PREEMPT Sat May 26 19:33:18 CEST 2007 i686 Unknown CPU Typ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I can reproduce this easily by running sudo <cmd>.
While waiting for sudo passwd, everything hangs. It really sucks when you forget to push ctrl+enter instead of just enter.
