A user is reporting a crash with my app where the crash causes the

this, or can offer an explanation for it? I can't even see how an
app could bring up Front Row if it wanted to, let alone accidentally
like this! Naturally it's not something I can reproduce in the
development environment, and seems to be affecting just one user.
Some WAGs:
* Does your app post keyboard events? Perhaps it got corrupt data and
accidentally posted the key combination for Front Row.
* Could the user be attempting to Force Quit your app and getting the
key combo slightly wrong? IIRC, the default combo for Front Row is
pretty close to that for Force Quit.
* Actually, could your app have a key combo that the user might be
trying to invoke, but a) they're getting it wrong and hitting the one
for Front Row instead, or b) they have (accidentally?) remapped the
combo for Front Row to the one that your app uses?
* The user's system may be so hosed that the crash reporter (or
whatever has replaced it in Snow Leopard) is somehow hooked up to
Front Row instead of whatever it should be. Can't imagine how that
might happen or how you'd diagnose it.
You might have the user disable the key combo for Front Row altogether
to see if the problem goes away.
Good luck,
Ken
