I tried to open a text file (a foxpro source file with a .prg
extension). The default option was thunar, not mousepad. I got the
pointer with the circle indicating that its was doing something. After
about a minute, I opened the file with mousepad, read it and closed it.
The circling/pointer is still there. I ran top in a term, saw thunar at
the top. got the PID, killed it, said invalid pid. Then I noticed in top
that thunar was jumping arround AND the pid was changing. This is new
for me. I still have the circling pointer. How do I close this process
and possibly, how do I keep this from happening again? xubuntu ver
16.04 LTS
