Comment: ok, some interesting stuff. After leaving the machine idle, the screensaver kicked on. The screensaver default was "Random". It was on the Tetrahedron screensaver when I wiggled the mouse to wake it up. It didn't. Then it hung and finally displayed a message box that the "shell had failed to respond 6 times in the past x minutes" and to click OK to drop to the command console. I did. Then I tried to run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and it said "dpkg is corrupted, run dpkg --configure -a to repair". I did, then restarted the machine and ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and it went through downloads and updates for about 30 minutes. I then restarted and the shell and waste basket appear fine now.
