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

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..

I've had that often here with various Debian releases, without any GNOME
apps running. Quite often, the computer never does come back - I can
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.*

And this sounds similar to a problem I have on my laptop running F7:
each time I select a network profile using the Gnome network config
app, gdm will hang for some minutes when booting and on each login
and logout. It appears to be waiting for a response from a DNS, heaven
knows why it needs that. Cupsd hangs as well when booting, apparently
for the same reason.
So I've stopped using the Gnome network config app, and just copy
the required ifcfg-eth1-*** to ifcfg-eth1, then ifup eth1.

Not quite. It happened again. This time it seemed to be xfwm4. So I
upgraded that, and things seem to be better. Well, jack + rosegarden +
ardour have been active since about 9:30 this morning with no trouble.
