Comment 1 for bug 511392

An update:

I'm thinking this bug has something to do with xorg, or the way the graphics processing are set up in Karmic Koala, because I just installed Picasa and I'm getting exactly the same problem: When processing images the system freezes completely.
If anybody has any idea which log files to look at or which dbug to install, or which argument to give when launching through the terminal so error messages are logged, I'd welcome any help/suggestions.
So far this behaviour is only an issue in Karmic Koala. To test my hardware, I installed Picasa on my Hardy Heron partition, (same machine), and it runs perfectly, as does F-Spot.
