Afraid so. Now, as the disk access thing hasn't been reported by the others, it could be a different problem.
Whatever's going on isn't locking up the system, but is interfering with it in a major way. When this happens: * I can kill X and switch to a term and type into it, do standard operations, but the process is slow because of the constant disk access. Also, the terminal misses many keystrokes, presumably those which occur when the process is performing some operation. * I can bring X back up, but once again, very slow and consistently interrupted. * I can still and move the mouse, and last time it happened i was able to manipulate the menus of the "Links" browser in an xterm with the mouse. I cannot manipulate any GUI controls though, whether part of e or qt or gtk. * As noted, the enlightenment process is unkillable. Still, the computer manages to shut down cleanly without protest. My distro is Suse 10, and it's running on a compaq presario laptop with an ATI graphics chip, using the "radeon" driver in xorg.conf. I tend to use mainly kde apps, and though i can't be sure, it does usually seem to be konqueror that i'm using when this happens, though it's frozen using firefox as well ... i'm sorry i can't be more precise, as even when using firefox, konqueror was probably open. I can't reproduce it at will, unfortunately. Hope this helps. The freeze doesn't happen often, maybe once every four or five days, and i'm enjoying using e17. Thanks for your hard work.
