I just resumed from suspend today. Some things were slightly odd; for instance, the screensaver didn't start up. I'm not sure why... At any rate, I resumed from suspend, and could click on stuff fine.
Then I went to network-manager, which was actually listing the nearby networks (possibly due to my whitelisting the ipw2200 driver, but that's a separate issue.) I selected a WPA network, it connected within 10-15 sec, but after I closed the "You are now connected..." yellow message, I couldn't click on anything, in any session. However, the keyboard worked, and after logging into a VT and killing "x -session-manager", I could log in fine through gnome-display-manager, and type this message. Presumably ntpdate got run (through the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate script) when the wireless connected. So I believe this still supports my working theory that sudden clock changes lock up some daemon; my offhand guess is gnome-session or something dbus-related. When I'm feeling daring, I'll try causing a lockup by drastically messing with the time by hand.
