This happened to me again this a.m. After freezing a few times finally
I had a deep freeze and the window never refreshed. I had to kill
processes.

I'm pretty sure this didn't used to happen, but recently I've been
noticing the UI freezing for a few seconds quite regularly. It happens
while I'm composing a message, and also if I switch IMAP folders, often
when the "Storing ..." string appears on the lower edge status line.
At first I thought it could be because my Drafts folder is remote, or
because I use a slow LDAP server, but turning off both these things made
no difference.
Is there a problem with multi-threading or did I just not ntoice this
before? I'm currently on 2.10.3 under Fedora 7 with KDE 3.5.7.
This could be a kernel issue. There have been reports of I/O freezes
under 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 kernels. Some of these are reported as fixed in
2.6.22 kernels. I've seen this too, but only when something else on the
box is using a lot of I/O.
I'm using the 2.6.22 kernel. Also, I haven't seen this except in Evo.
The UI freezes completely e.g. if I bury the window and raise it again
it won't even refresh, but I can switch to a different app or even a
different desktop and everything else works. Eventually Evo wakes up
again and I can continue until the next freeze.
