I have this same problem only I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (kernel: 2.6.31-20-generic). Basically if the user is using a program such as GIMP or OpenOffice the computer will all of a sudden lock up and the user cannot do anything. The mouse will still move but nothing can be clicked on. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and Alt+F2 do not work at all. The only way the user can use the computer again is to force a hard reboot. This problem has been going on for months and I hope there will be a fix to this freezing issue.
