Just found a little bug in Jaunty, not a show-stopper or a deal-breaker kind.
If you open Gnome's Terminal, type some command and then quit while there's still a process running, a dialog box will pop out and ask for confirmation to close terminal or go back to terminal and continue whatever the process is. Now the bug is : it uses same shortcut key, C in (C)ancel and (C)lose.
Now imagine a world where there is no mouse or arrow key :)
Want to try this?

• open Terminal
• type some command that require a password. I used "sudo dolphin".
• when it asks for password, close the window,
• now press Alt-C, you'll going nowhere :)

When I tried to report this bug I found that this bug already listed at launchpad bug report and gladly I can report that this bug will be no more in Karmic. This bug was fixed in the package gnome-terminal - 2.27.91-0ubuntu1 for Karmic.

For Jaunty users? Be glad there are such things as arrow key and mouse :) I am sure there's a fix, but it is easier just to ignore, and I can always use Konsole (KDE terminal) anyway.
