Nevertheless this has not been an issue until the last couple of weeks. The reset symptoms: The background goes black, all open apps are collapsed to a single window (I normally have 3 - 4 populated), and there is a lot of CPU and disk activity for about a minute, finally the background is loaded.
Do you see anything in dmesg, /var/log/messages, or /var/log/Xorg.0.log that corresponds to this event? Check your ~/.xsession-errors as well. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam whitemice org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA
