I am also experiencing this. Total lock up, nothing moves..

It seems to happen most frequently in Firefox when making a mouse click, either right, left or scroll. It doesn't happen if I don't touch the system.

The only way out is a system reset button. Then Ubuntu does a disk check, most often than not automatic fsck fails and I get sent to the console. Typing a fsck will fix the problems. Then you have to reboot.

This is TOTALLY unacceptable to a normal user.

To make matters worse, today I got a message saying that GDM could not be started. Again another reset to get the system back.

Guys, this has to be of a VERY HIGH priority!!!!!

Its getting to remind me of the good old windows blue screen days....
