I found myself doing it to myself yesterday... *blush*

Ok I had little sleep the past few days. I GIMP'ed up a screen shot of 
Firefox for something I was working on, then alt-tabbed over to Emacs to 
edit something, then alt-tab back to Firefox to see if my change did what it 
was supposed to and... no response.

No matter what I did, FF was totally dead. No amount of clicking, typing, or 
anything else would help.

I was just starting to panic when I realized I was clicking on the 
SCREENSHOT I just ook, not the actual FF instance that was running... *blush 
squared*
