I've had that often here with various Debian releases, without any GNOME

move the pointer around for hours and nothing changes. I personally
think it has more to do with buggy Xorg video drivers - in my case, they
adamantly try to use features of the Intel i830 chipset that don't exist
at all in my laptop's i810 chipset, *even though the X server is using
the i810 driver.*

I want to share one of those weird things that
may save somebody's
hair follicles from excessive trauma:
Today I had a power failure. When my machine booted up again, I was
finding weirdness with ardour, rosegarden, jackd and X. On startup or
shutdown or rosegarden and/or ardour, X would stop responding to
keyboard and mouse clicks, but would still move the mouse cursor.
Ardour was still talking nicely to the BCF, but X was totally dead. I
could ssh into the box and kill the X server.
I eventually tracked it down to gnome-panel talking to
evolution-data-server. I've just rebuilt gnome-panel without that
capability, and stability has returned.
bye
John

Sounds a bit similar to the problems quite some ubuntuusers, including
me, are experiencing on logout time. Once I hit the button nothing
responds to clicks or anything anymore, but I can still move the mouse,
until, after a few minutes, the logout dialogue appears and everything
works as expected from there on.
I got some gnome panel weirdness as well, but only with qjackctl and
systray icon active. It doesn't always happen but sometimes the icon
doesn't show up. When I manage to make it show up by
deactivating/activating that option the _lower_ panel tends to
disappear when the mousefocus is on any window. Or weirdness like that.
I don't know if it is a qjackctl or a gnome panel bug..
