Rafe, unfortunately I find that I can crash Dosemu with CTRL+c when it's
running full screen, both in Ubuntu and Sidux.
There's something else I've noticed, something sure to reaffirm Bob's
happiness with Dosbox. If you have two program windows open and
Dosemu/Xy4 is the one behind, ALT+F4 can close both. If it's two
Dosemu/Xy4 windows that are stacked, both *will* close; if another
program is in front, often only the ALT key appears to get passed to
Dosemu/Xy4. This, unlike CTRL+c, appears to be partly a Dosemu quirk.
BTW, if you stack three Dosemu/Xy4 windows on your desktop, only the top
two will close. Similarly, if you issue "quit" on the command line
followed by the ENTER key, the ENTER key will be picked up by the second
Dosemu/Xy4 window when the first closes. This ALT+F4 and ENTER key thing
may partly be a keyboard repeat rate thing, but I've fiddled with the
repeat rate, making my cursor annoyingly slow, and not avoided this sort
of problem.
So I'm careful when running two instances of Xy4/Dosemu. There may be a
solution to this, but I've got a very workable Xy4 setup and have
largely stopped trying to fiddle with it.
