Comment 34 for bug 113679

I don't want to add insult to injury, but Tom's comment perfectly describes the severity of this problem (even if this bug is fixed, it could be something to learn from). To have the computer freeze is more than just an inconvenience. It is a deal-breaker. I am writing a book right now and I am on a very tight deadline. It never fails that when I have several chapters open and my flow going, OpenOffice.org (and sometimes just X in general) just locks the whole X session. It's 30 minutes to an hour before I am back to where I was mentally. I was going to use VMWare to write, but I like the idea of using a second X session as well.
