I see this white box in the upper left corner as I log on. Once I have
logged on I don't see that anymore, but it could be that the box is on
an unmapped part of my desktop (since I have the small laptop internal
screen to the left the upper left part of the virtual desktop is outside
any screens)

I see the same. It doesn't crash or anything, just never appears on
screen.

I used to have very high kernel cpu usage but the most recent kernels
fixed that. CPU usage seems to be back to normal for me at least.
Something in your config or application mix that triggers it? Does it
behave that way if you log in with a brand new user account?

Apart from these I also see evolution eating resources until the desktop
halts completely for a few minutes. Then evolution dies and everything
is back to normal. Only happens when my mapi account is enabled, so this
is in evolution-mapi.

When the screenlock is activated long enough, the systems gets
completely unresponsive and I have to power off/on.

resume hangs.
