  Getting your cursor back

From time to time, when using Galeon, my cursor gets stuck in drag mode. An old bug report exists about it on Launchpad but doesn't seem to have been reported upstream.

Last week blino told me about a workaround he found when it happens to him in Firefox or Epiphany: activate the menu with Alt+F.

This works in Galeon too! I no longer need to switch to tty1 and kill Galeon!

Update: I actually found 2 upstream bug reports (#504624 and #602461).

  In case you are missing alsa git or website

echo "212.20.107.51 git.alsa-project.org www.alsa-project.org alsa-project.org" >> /etc/hosts (thanks blino for finding the IP on google)

Update: domain was renewed, two days late but working again.
