I'm not totally convinced. Yes, Xorg shouldn't freeze in general, but the shutdown dialog does (and is supposed to) take control over the entire display. If that freezes somehow but doesn't crash, Xorg really has no way of knowing.
As far as I can tell, X _doesn't_ freeze, it continues to work in the background, but the display it taken up by the unresponsive shutdown dialog. I don't really know how else could X react to this. As far as xorg knows, the app may be some sort of screen lock. I don't know who's responsible for the shutdown window. While I agree that some of the opened "affects" won't be related, I'm just trying to find them, and I expect gnome-desktop to know something about that shutdown dialog. It's a desktop feature, isn't it? Even if it's not a bug in the shutdown dialog, I really need to find someone who works on it, because they're the only ones who can find out what's wrong. -- shutdown window freezes everytime https://launchpad.net/bugs/88015 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
