How to manage problematic application windows in Ubuntu

In Ubuntu:

To find out what application a window belongs to: Type xwininfo in the console, then click on the window.

To kill a window, type xkill in the console, then click on a window to kill it.


Burning .gbi files to CD

In Windows:
  • MagicISO
  • gBurner

In Linux:
  • K3B - doesn't seem to work
  • You can't burn .gbi files natively in Linux, you can only burn .iso files
  • There is daa2iso (gbi to iso), but it may need to be compiled for Linux.
  • Or use the Windows version like this: wine daa2iso.exe name.gbi name.iso
