From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Sometimes when dragging things in GNOME, such as windows and messages in Evolution, X hangs. The display refreshes, but input from the keyboard and mouse has no effect. It's not possible to switch to other terminals using Ctrl + Alt + <function key>. When this problem occurs, the mouse cursor keeps the dragging cursor, even when you release the mouse button. I've only once seen X eating CPU cycles when this problem has occurred. The only way I know of to return the computer back to normal is to kill X via ssh, losing all unsaved data in your X session. Unfortunately I haven't noticed any pattern in the tasks I was performing which caused these hangs.

I think this is a duplicate of bug #160159. I'm having the same problems and described my situation in that bug.

Looks like it might be an nVidia driver issue... Richard, are you running the nvidia driver?
YesâI think I was using version 1.0-6629. I see that NVIDIA have been unusually busy developing their driver since that version was the latest, so it's possible that they have fixed this bug. Unfortunately, I can't test whether this is the case because I've migrated to Mac OS *ducks*. :) Are the people affected by this bug using the latest version of the driver?
I can confirm this problem on my rawhide (but kernel from kernel.org) box with ATI Radeon 9200!
