Bug Description
I know I'm not the only one who has experienced system lockups lately.
I don't really have a way to characterize this, and launchpad just goes OOPS-548C287 when I try to report the problem.
Here's the scenario.
1. My systems (desktop and laptop) were installed from gutsy tribe 1 alternate, but I run xubuntu-desktop.
2. When the freeze occurs, muse still moves but no clicks from mouse to change desktop or select another option in the current window will work.
3. Someties I can ctl-alt-bksp to restart X, but mostly even this input will be ignored. Hard power-off reboot needed.
4. In all cases, Firefox is running, and I'm browsing email (gmail), forums, or financial site. One freeze was during a download.
5. Other background jobs (cron, print, etc.) that were in progress continue to run.
6. After reboot, no informational messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/X.....
7. The desktop (nvidia card) and laptop (not nvidia or ati) have different video drivers.
8. This behavior started about 3 weeks ago. I am currently up to date to Tribe 2 +.

It's looking like an XFCE bug. I've been running Gnome tonight, and no lockups.
