Not with Karmic but I updated my intel drivers from the X Updates PPA and my kernel to 2.6.30. This fixes several other slowdowns and graphical glitches I had. On this bug it significantly reduced the frequency of occurrence. However, if the machine is under a heavier load and I use the menu I still run the risk of setting this bug off and having to reboot.
