I cannot ctrl-Z it (does nothing). And I have no place to type the
command killall

Love the man!

Um, this is bad, no? Have any other programs that have done this
before been broken of this habit? How is this too be handled?

The truth is, this is an app that I use a lot- just for personal use,
but as we mostly use the copmputer for internet, music, videos, and
photos, I have a hard time convincing she-who-must-be-obeyed (as I saw
another poster refer to his counterpart of similar nature) that we
don't need windows. She's a diehard IE girl, loves Windows Media
Player (well, I like it too), and BrilliantPhoto really makes image
managment a breeze. So I'd REALLY LIKE to get this working, as I'm
-forcing- Firefox and Amarok on her...

Unless someone could suggest an imange managment program in linux that
supports the IPTC metadata that we added with BrilliantPhoto?

Thank you, all of you. I hope that I didn't get too carried away and
off-topc with that last question.

Don't like to run them, but sometimes feel like throwing it...
