    Cinnamon's annoying message: "window is not responding"

    I use the cinnamon desktop manager, and due to the nature of the things I do, I frequently get the error (window) "XXX is not responding.". Almost always, this is just the result of having a GUI that is only active at certain points in time, or the program being debugged.

    I got the problem fixed following the instructions I found in this link. To disable the responsiveness check, you can run:

    dconf write /org/cinnamon/muffin/check-alive-timeout "uint32 0"

    To verify that it worked, you can run:

    dconf read /org/cinnamon/muffin/check-alive-timeout
