At time to time my XFCE4 freezes. The screen is responding to the
keyboard, mouse pointer is moving on the screen but nothing is
responding.
I just lookup some solutions and found this one:
- press: CTRL+Alt+T (to get to terminal)
- pidof xfce4-panel
- kill -9 pid
xfwm4 --replace &
Any other solutions?

Other possible solutions are killing xfce through telnet/ssh or from another tty. Another is using the sysrq key, but that is to be avoided.

I ask ChatGPT for a solution to this and I got:
1.) Try using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Esc. This will turn your
mouse cursor into an X symbol, allowing you to click on the window that's causing the freeze and kill it.
2.) If the keyboard shortcut doesn't work, try switching to a virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2. Log in with your username and password.
3.) Once you're logged in, use the top or htop command to identify the process that's causing the freeze. You can sort the list of processes by
CPU usage or memory usage to make it easier to find the offending process.
4.) Use the kill command followed by the process ID (PID) to terminate the process. For example, if the PID is 1234, you would use the command kill 1234.
5.) Switch back to your X session by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7. Your XFCE4
desktop environment should now have restarted, and you can log in as usual.
"Ctrl+Alt+Esc" doesn't work, and I've never seen this solution; where
does it come from?
