I tried iceWM and in the 4 hours i was logged in, there was nothing. Again with gnome, as I have used for 10+ hours, has only frozen ones.

I looked at the connection and it showed, that I create the freeze in Xfce4 by unplugging the cable (syslog at the end, dmesg said nothing usefull). Unplugging has no effect on iceWM and gnome. I started replying your comments in Gnome and it froze the second time. During the freeze I noticed that the LED's on my switch where off, as there where no link on the ethernet cable to my laptop. I tried disable the avahi-daemon, it's mentioned in the syslog below. But it made no difference. Is that daemon necessary? /Lars --- Syslog during freeze in Xfce4, when cable unplugged ---- Nov 6 23:40:19 debs NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) successful, device activated.
