Did you have any other mouse or keyboard control of the smart window
during this phase or after it completed? I have found on my suse 10.2
system on a laptop of 'only' 512mb ram that smart gui often becomes
'dead' to user input during and after operations even though it is
running, or has competed an operation. I usually have to kill it off
when this happens.
