I just did my normal sid update (every few days I do one of these)

today I seem to have hit a problem. My screen locks solid, and input
(mouse or keyboard) no longer has any affect. Screen updates (such as
the clock) continue.


I ended up trying to install gnome 3.2 from experimental, failing and
reverting back to gnome 3 in sid. In the process I uninstalled and
re-installed loads of stuff, and it seems to be working again.

Seems to have half broken again. I was in Mail (Icedove) and got to the
end of a folders worth of mail. The dialog box thrown up to ask whether
I want to go on to the next folder is blank and is now left on the
screen (on top).

I encountered this yesterday. Gnome-shell 3.0.2-6 (unstable, not
experimental) would lock with Iceweasel or Icedove, though Icedove
seemed to do it without fail. If I logged in as root on a tty, I could
kill iceweasel or icedove, and gnome-shell would resume. (I think I
tried Epiphany too and the same thing happened.)


I've just locked solid with iceweasel struggling to access a web site, and the whole system (including a copy of Windows 7 running in a VirtualBox virtual machine) locked solid. The only thing that would work was clicking on windows that were overlapping but not entirely hidden, when the would move to the top (but still not respond otherwise).

I ssh'ed in from another machine and killed iceweasel and everything came alive again.
