I run an Intel QX6700, 4GB Ram, 8800GTX, etc.. so my system is fairly recent.
Previously I was running Gutsy (compiz and all), no problems.
I recently upgraded to Hardy, which initially screwed up my xorg and driver setup which I ironed out eventually (after upgrading a couple outdated packages).
Ok so now about 4 hours after booting and moderate use, Gnome stops responding. All new apps launched just hang or don't even show a window. All previously running apps continue to work normally. The panel and desktop do not react to clicks (although the running man on the panel lights up on mouseover). The only way I can correct this issue it seems is to go to my first console, log in, and restart X (or shutdown restart the PC).
Any ideas on what might be going on?
I am running Prism apps, and it's usually when executing a Prism app that I first notice the symptoms, but not exclusively, and it's fairly random but usually within 4-6 hours of boot.
