 Package: xfce4
 Version: 4.6.1.2
 Severity: important
 
 System: Debian testing, installed 2009/10/01
  kernel 2.6.30-1-686
  libc-2.9
  Fujitsu Lifebook E8110 (Intel Core Duo T2300)
 
 The following happened twice in the last two days while working with xfce4:
 - The system does not react to any keyboard input. Switching to a virtual  
 console is not possible. Pressing ctrl+alt+del has no effect.
 - The mouse cursor moves when moving the mouse, but the system does not  
 react to mouse clicks. Buttons show no reaction when the mouse moves over  
 them.
 - Plugging and unplugging usb sticks does not start thunar, as it normally  
 does.
 The system load plugin did not show increased system load.
 
 The first time this happened I was scrolling the scroll bar of Terminal,  
 the second time I was browsing in the project properties window of Eclipse.
 
 I found no way to reproduce this bug. Also, I am not sure whether this bug  
 is related to xfce4; it might also be a bug in hal or the hal  
 configuration.
 
 I installed Debian testing by dist-upgrading from a minimal lenny install  
 only last week.

I can't really do anything with that, sorry. Xfce wasn't really updated
in testing recently, but you might want to check what was upgraded.
Might be X related, though.

When it happens, could you try to ssh from another box and restart
xfwm4? (using: DISPLAY=:0 xfwm4 --daemon --replace)

Cheers,

I can't - I have no LAN with another Linux box.

However, is it possible to make the system kill the X server if I e.g.  
plug in a memory stick?
