Hi Anne

What I can see from the logs that you presented was that all the way down 
Xwindows seemed to be healthy.

You say that you were able to switch over to a console. The next time it 
happens please post the output of

ps aux

One possibility that comes to mind is that it is very possible that the 
computer overheated.

Konqueror /  Chromium) hmmm.... Questions (probably silly). Are you using 
adobe's flash plugin? Is it the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version? If the 32 
bit version are you using it in a 64 bit environment? If you are using flash do 
you experience the same symptoms if you were to use firefox or google-chrome?

Eli
