Description of problem: When using firefox to connect to luci and configure HA services, the window manager occasionally locks up completely. The only solution is to then switch to a virt console and kill metacity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 6.2 GA How reproducible: Randomly while using the luci web client to configure a cluster, however 3 out of 4 systems today exhibited the problem and after putting selinux into permissive mode the problem seems to not be reproducible. It's very likely that other web activity (using firefox) will also trigger this bug.
Hi Jeremy, 1) is it HW specific, Paul told me that you found it on some T61, if so please add lspci -nn output to this bug 2) what about firefox 8 from brew,there are build available for rhel6 3) I filled maybe similar issue with beaker, it cause like 20sec hang but after approximately 20 seconds everything work just fine. How long have you wait before you killed metacity? 4) I the luci web client available somewhere for testing? Thanks Tom
More likely a SELinux bug.

This appears to be caused by more than Firefox. I just installed 6.2 on a workstation with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 video card. I have disabled the nouveau driver. The desktop locks up after a few minutes with and without NVIDIA binary graphics drivers. Switching to a virtual terminal, I can see metacity using 99% CPU and the VIRT and RES memory values are climbing. VIRT exceeds 1100g.
