To be fair, I was pushing the machine by running two VMs, one of which was running Windows update. Chrome may have been paged out. When I clicked in it it didn't respond, and when I tried to minimize it that locked up window operations in the whole desktop. Nothing responded to clicks and I couldn't switch active windows. After about a minute it came back into life. Probably when things had gotten paged back in. It's not a nice situation. I see badly behaved apps often in Linux as well. I think its important that you can switch active windows and move other windows on top of unresponsive ones, so that you can say start a process monitor and kill it. It's also nice if you can move, minimize and kill them. Client side decorations have many benefits, so maybe just have some special hotels or similar for this.
