This looks more like a bug in the window manager rather than a general bug.

From this I conclude that the OS part (kernel and basic utilities) are still running correctly but the window manager stops dispatching events, maybe due to a buggy program catching the focus and incorrectly handling the X events. I'd recommend again to reassign this bug to the window manager package. There you will probably find a better chance to get help. --Cheers, Abou Al Montacir |
