Public bug reported: Ubuntu 11.10 on Acer Aspire - hopefully you've got full details in the log files. Starts and gets to X-windows login prompt. At any point from here on in, if I move the mouse cursor, X-windows crashes and restarts.
I can see in the syslog file there's an error: gnome-session[3588]: Gdk-WARNING: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.#012 (you may have the latest syslog file without that in - it seems to have re-started a new one in the past 30 minutes or so, I would *facepalm* but my forehead is hurting). This problem started on Sunday Feb 12th - it did an automatic update of some stuff (I didn't take too much notice). One thing was it reckoned it could only do a partial update, but still seemed to be OK. Then prompted me to reboot and on reboot - bang this problem surfaced. I also dual-boot this machine to a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 install (and am refusing to take that through the upgrade to 11.10 until there's a satisfactory fix for this). Reading around some forums (for Gentoo, Redhat and Ubuntu) it seems this is in Gnome 3 - though other users have different but related problems (usually different combination of actions before X-windows crashes - some even get to use the machine and do stuff first).
