I am seeing something similar where this kind of error produces the
following behavior:

In syslog:

pulseaudio[2123]: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-x11-xsmp"
(argument: "display=:0.0 session_manager=local/rpk-desk:@/tmp/.ICE-
unix/2044,unix/rpk-desk:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2044"): initialization failed

Shortly after logging into the GUI desktop, the display freezes, but
machine is still alive. (For example, you can ssh in.) When idle, the
screen goes blank. Move the mouse, the screen saver unlock dialog shows,
and I can type in password to log back in. Then I see my desktop again,
but, again, the display is frozen.

Disabling integrated audio from the BIOS solved the problem. It's a good
thing I don't need sound.

This machine (Dell dual Pentium 4 desktop) has been running Ubuntu since
October 2007 and has been continuously upgraded since then. This problem
did not occur until yesterday. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit) with
all the latest updates.
