Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

system:

intrepid(amd64) with all current updates on a Samsung Q45 laptop

problem scenario:

I boot up ubuntu and everything works smoothly. However when
I leave the laptop running/idling for several hours (power-on in the
morning.. get back from work) it either is very unresponsive and 
suffers from very heavy hdd access to an extent that it takes up
to a minute to log in to a terminal session or it sometimes (but
not as often) won't respond anymore at all - just a blank screen.

I don't have any screensavers configured so I assume the screen
is blanked by power preferences.

I am not running any special software or tasks. Mostly when idling
it is just firefox/evolution/pidgin. 

When I check top in this troublesome state I cannot spot a responsible
process. Redrawing of X applications takes very long and usually
the system recovers again after some minutes.

I realize this report is terribly lacking in terms of details but I don't see 
what
else I could report that would be of use. The problem arises basically whenever
I leave the laptop running for an extended time.

If there is any way that I can make this report more usable, let me know. This
behavior is rather annoying/troublesome.
