Just an update to my comment #19 (a week ago) - I haven't experienced any of these freezes since I upgraded gtk2-engines-oxygen to version 1.3.3 with the patches mentioned in the Emacs bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/1142213. The patches might not be relevant so it's possible that the latest upstream version fixes the freezes.
I can provide amd64 package if there's interest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963736 Title: thunderbird and firefox freeze at random : must be killed and restarted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/963736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
