Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Recent updates may allow a Firefox 3.6.12 issue to lock the whole desktop. No panel icons, nothing at all useable. Only a hard reboot could be done.

This has not repeated. The one and only time ut happened, I was looking up nav charts by NOAA from a private site

I had been idle for a few minutes after a very slow loading chart completed. On return, the system was in total lock.
