Having used Linux for about 5 years now, I've slowly built up a collection of my most hated quirks and oddities with many different distributions, applications and other doo-hickeys. But recently I have been watching most of them slide right off my list.
But one of them has been around longer than any others, and it's by far the most annoying and destructive!!!
Whenever I have Samba shares mounted on my machine, if I suspend or hibernate my machine (or accidentally unplug a network cable), upon resuming the session I can guarantee that my desktop will cease to function. No music will play (from the samba server), my home directory won't load up in nautilus (because of the samba shares mounted inside) and worst of all; doing ye olde CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE doesn't help either, as there is something wrong with the Samba client (or so it would seem). Even restarting the networking service seems to have no effect.
So I am forced to reboot my computer - and being a Linux lover, I loathe doing this for ANY reason other than a kernel update.
So...
Who else has a pet hate with certain applications and what not that they'd love to have fixed?
Or better yet.. can anyone fix mine or anyone elses?
