Also, other programs could be doing it. Do you run a program does fully work when you run it? Maybe it didn't exit fully out of memory. I had this happen when I installed X11amp 0.8 from my FSBD 3.1 Release. That app (and the other processes that started with it) would lock up my keyboard almost every other day. The only remedy was to reboot. So try another WM and watch what programs you're using. I recommend running "xosview" to monitor CPU utilization.
