Comment 78 for bug 762918

The question is that i don't think the pc freezes really.
The screen saver is slow and crashes but the computer continues to work in background.
The other day i saw my screensaver stopped and under the screen appeared popups of Opera that warned me for news emails.
Then if i stop the screensaver just in time when it still is slow but not crashed, the screensaver disappears but the computer continues to work slowly.
One time i found gnome-screensaver in gnome-system-monitor; i killed it and the system began to work again.
Bye
