Hi all,
I have had this problem since Fedora 15. It is related to firefox so
I use midori other than for very secure matters because it does not have
256-bit encryption. I am using a Thinkpad T61.
The other option is to get rid of lxpanel (killall lxpanel), and use
something else. In F15, I used peksystray for the system tray and
docky for the panel (I compiled them myself.) Neither of these are RPMs
on Fedora: I have considered putting them together, but it seems
complicated.
Note that you do not have to reboot: killall lxpanel, plus lxpanel -p
LXDE should take care of it till the next freeze.
The LXDE project, disappointingly, seems too haphazard in development
and in fits and starts, so I am not convinced will last for much longer,
unless something radical happens.
Note that this is not just a lxpanel problem, but lxpanel does not
recover. My father-in-law on xubuntu has mentioned the exact problem
that Timothy is reporting. Apparently, this may be xulrunner taking
over. I wonder if we could just get rid of xulrunner.
I wonder if firefox jumping so many releases (with a target of a release
of 8.0 or whatever, regardless of what else happens) in one year affect
has an effect on quality.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

I have had lockups for the past week as well (they do not go away, have to
reboot).
I am on LXDE.
I suspected firefox as well as it was the only app active at the time, but with
average number of tabs (less than 10), one youtube, etc.
No proof of what's causing it as well - random occurrence, no dumps, no
error messages in a log.
