[gspat]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

system became unresponsive... possible nautilus crash as well? alt-f2 to run programs worked, but menus were not usable (clickable)...

Program menus were not responsive, keyboard commands worked though

desktop icons also became unusable, did not highlight... right clicking seemed to click through them to the desktop... menus woudl come up to make new folder etc.
