I was just moving my menu panel to the right-hand side and I was trying to adjust its width (or height as it would have been while on the bottom side). There is a dialog box with a increment control to set the value, and while I was scrolling this up, the menu panel went crazy, started flashing black and white 4 or 5 times a second, maxed out the CPU and from that point, I could enter any commands and none of my mouse clicks registered.
solved it, panic over.I don't know why but gconf process had been running the whole time while I was trying to fix it - so every time I deleted the .gconf directory, it rewrote it - I don't know the hows or whys but I fixed it now.
