Try this:
$ gedit &
$ killall nautilus ; nautilus /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-17 &
Now, double-click the "GPL" file. A new gedit window should appear.
To allow you to resume your work afterwards, on another console, do:
$ sleep 15; killall gedit
Try to drag and drop the gedit tab "GPL" to the other gedit window.
Watch your mouse pointer freeze on drag mode, disabling it
effectively; keyboard does not seem to respond as well. After ~15
seconds, when gedit windows are killed, you'll get your mouse and
keyboard back.
Can anyone confirm?
Yes. Dragging the _tab_ of the gedit, that has loaded the GPL file,
to the empty gedit results in a freeze as described.
