Is it a specific application (ie Tuxtype)? Older versions of tuxtype  
would bomb our lcd screens. Putting the -w switch after the exec path  
will solve that. Puts it in a window instead of full screen.

from our school's install guide:
Now- navigate to /usr/share/applications and scroll down until you see  
the TuxType icon.

Right click Tuxtype and choose Properties. Change the launcher from:  
Exec = /usr/bin/tuxtype2 to: Exec = /usr/bin/tuxtype2 -w

If it's another application - hmmm, I wouldn't know.
