When it is frozen, can you open a terminal window and
issue the following commands:
df
mount
Do they hang as well?

I didn't try either of those but the system seemed to be normal
otherwise. That is, I was able to use Firefox for web access,
Thunderbird for reading e-mail, etc. I doubt if the disk was frozen
since my work-around worked: double click on a file icon, edit the file,
save the file.

I had this serveral times that on another desktop you need to acknowledge
something. OO only seems to be frozen...
For some reason active pop-up don't show up on top.

Absolutely sure. Before rebooting the system I restarted X (I normally
run systems at run level 3 and then use startx from the command line to
bring up the X window system). After starting X from a command prompt,
I was able to recreate the problem. Also, when starting OO, I was
always seeing the "splash" screen.
Since an X restart didn't solve the problem but a reboot did, I'm
thinking there is a service that OO utilizes that had stalled or died.
I have no idea which one.
Cheers,
Dave
