Here's a strange pathology that just bit me for the first time in a

In short: I'll be working away, minding my own business, when the
desktop
goes completely dead - no response to any key or mouse events. That
said,
the X server is still running; the pointer still moves with the
mouse. I
can also switch to another virtual console with alt-ctrl-Fn. Sometimes
things start working again after some time (measured in minutes);
sometimes I lose patience and start over. Today I went and made
lunch and
it never came back.
Hmm
I think there was a lock screen bug mentioned upstream that fits this
description...
JBG
Same thing happened to me with RC1 Gnome on 64 bit. Yum update was running
in one window and I was surfing in another, each window taking up about
half the
1080x1920 monitor. All of a sudden Firefox stopped responding and Yum
ground to a halt.
The mouse cursor still followed mouse movements, but the keyboard and
mouse keys
were dead. No Ctrl-Alt-Fn did anything. No LED response to CapsLock
etc.. Some
background process accessed the HD from time to time. I had to use the
hardware reset.
Yum was hopelessly confused so I reinstalled RC1 and ran yum update from
a console
terminal. Hooray for Xfce which works better now. Everyone I know of
who uses Linux
as a tool rather dislikes Gnome 3, so let's make sure Xfce works properly.
