(I learned that the hard way this => morning...) What I do not understand is that the problem takes some time to surface. If it were a problem with the X server, one wouldn't expect it to start up properly, would one ? The freeze generally happens ten minutes after starting up X. It is generally a consequence of a rapid mouse clicks or simultaneous use of the keyboard and mouse. Is this an X bug, one that has been reported ?
