I see same problem RDB sees but sporadic (with GeF/generic dvr). I can 
ssh or vncviewer in and  sys is still working but local X server is 
locked (except mouse cursor still moves) with no keyboard response or 
mouse click or location response. No problems for couple weeks til now. 
Just started runing KsCD to play CDs. Has occurred twice in 2 day with 
this running. Not sure if related. Will not run it and see if stops locking.
