Re: [issue871] gtk2 related: X mouse pointer jumps and sticks to top left corner

[Rumko <rumcic@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tested this patch (I'm also another one, who got his mouse stuck in X) and I
get _many_ messages from firefox "kernel: pid 1158 (firefox-bin) signal return
from user: illegal FP MXCSR ffff0010" (the message repeats and does not
change) and the firefox process itself seems to be stuck, eating up as much
CPU as it can, but doesn't do anything.
