Comment 248 for bug 973096

Some thing more or less, happens to me. UI becomes unresponsive. I can still move the mouse but all kep presses and clicks are uneffective. I can ssh in from an another computer and reboot. This happens about once an hour, doing nothing more than browsing the web, running a terminal and checking email.
