a. The GNOME desktop (I do not have KDE or XFCE) locks up, while
changing windows. Say I have Firefox, Emacs, and XChat-GNOME open and
I am changing from one window to the other, the entire desktop
suddenly stops responding to keystrokes and mouse clicks. When this
happens usually Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-F1 works, but there
was one occasion when it did not. The only solution is to restart X or
to hard reboot.
Updating metacity to the latest Rawhide version seems to have solved
the problem.

Debarshi
