freecell crashes x while yum is running

[shmuel siegel]

As Red Skeleton was known to say, "I just do them, I don't explain 
them". I have noticed more than once that x freezes if I am playing 
freecell while running "sudo yum update" from a gnome terminal. I have 
not had X freeze in any other scenario. The symptoms of the freeze are:

   1. yum is downloading at the time
   2. It happens while I am dragging a card - the motion freezesa
   3. The mouse still moves but none of the rollovers do anything and
      clicking doesn't have any effect
   4. The keyboard doesn't have any effect. Not even ctrl-alt-del,
      ctrl-alt-f2, or ctrl-alt-backspace
   5. The gnome monitor panel applet freezes
   6. ssh works. I can log in from another machine
   7. /sbin/init 3 doesn't do anything

I am running F10 rawhide on a Dell Latitude D620 - integrated Intel 
graphics chip.

How much memory do you have in the system?

One Gig of ram  and at least 6 gig free on vars partition. If it happens 
again I check how ram is used.

and type 'dmesg' and look for OOM or Out-of-Memory in the output.

Sorry I took so long, but the problem had to occur again before I could 
post anything. It should be noted that the system is still running and 
the disk drive is accessible.
No out of memory messages but I do have the following entries, probably 
relevant.
