Public bug reported:
Kubuntu 8.04, ATi X800XT, free ati driver from Xorg, no beryl, no
compiz.
X froze 3 times so far when I entered text in a gtk application after a few
words.
I can still move the mouse pointer but the Desktop doesn't update anymore. X
apps like Kaffeine stop working.
I can still ssh into the machine, even ssh -X and launch X apps on a remote
box, the machine acts all normal apart from X.
When I issue shutdown, the frozen Desktop stays until the machine powers down.
Happened on OOo Writer editing an odt and twice entering text into a
form in Firefox (precisely the eBay sales form for item description).
Since these are both gtk apps and editing the same odt in koffice worked
just fine over a period I suspect it's perhaps the spell check or the
gtk-qt-engine. Wild guess.
Let me know what logs or traces you need.
