Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 6.06.

Sometimes after resuming my laptop from suspend/hibernate, I can't start
any new programs, like gaim, xchat-gnome or something. I can't even open
the "log out/shut down/suspend/hibernate" window. On the other hand, I
can open new Firefox windows if Firefox was already running. I have to
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out of xorg to get it to work again.

I believe this has something to do with unplugging the AC while the
laptop is suspended/hibernated, but I haven't figured out when exactly
it happens... sometimes after I resume the laptop and type in my
password to the screensaver, the laptop immediately goes to screensaver
again after showing the desktop for a second; I guess that might be the
reaction to the AC unplugging.

So far I haven't found a workaround, and I don't know what component is
responsible for this stuff (/etc/acpi or gnome-power-manager or
something else?), so I'm putting it here.

I'll try not to plug/unplug the AC while in suspend/hibernate for a
time, to get more info on this.
