I've seen a crash with the non 4g/4g one also though I'm not a 100% sure
whether it happened when logging out from GNOME or afterwards -- I
logged out and left immediately afterwards, after a 1 hour's drive it
wasn't accessible remotely and when I came home Caps&Scroll-Lock where
blinking.
I have had a similar problem here with both GNOME and Xfce (4.2 from
CVS).
The kernel resolved the problem that I had with the Broadcom NIC (b44)
however, which was great.
I did not note this new issue until I logged out the first time and then
it was reproducible each time from both desktops. It does not 'crash'
per se, but I get a hard lock up which requires a power down and re-
boot.
This is on a Dell 5150 laptop, 2 Gb RAM, nVidia video card using the
nVidia 6629 driver.
None of this happens of course with the 681 kernel.
