every once in a while (not sure if this is due to a finger fumbly key combo or what) pd-extended Linux stops getting keyboard entry
so I can't do a Ctrl-E for editing my patches etc

restarting pd doesn't get the kbd back
only restarting the system corrects this problem

anyone else experience this?

I'm also using tcl/tk for some extended functionality like the Max-like object bar

config:
Linux Mint 14 Nadia && Xfce 4.10 on a Lenovo T500 Thinkpad
