I'm not sure how to attach this pdf or postscript or whatever it is... it's
a print preview of a system file and evince loses its normal menus during
the print preview. The only reason I know it's evince is by the logo on the
upper left. Here's how I got there:

   1. System --> Preferences -> Keyboard --> Layouts
   2. Change Keyboard Model to IBM Thinkpad R60/T60/R61/T61
   3. In the window "Selected Layouts", add a USA layout to have two USA
   layouts (probably not necessary, but that's what I have)
   4. Select the second layout and press "Print"
   5. Press "Print Preview"
   6. Move and resize the print preview window and it will freeze during one
   of the resizes. (I reproduced this three times in a row)

Also let me know if you need any system summaries or error logs (and how to
get them for you). I'm not a complete novice, but I'm still pretty
unfamiliar with Linux. I also did add a few packages to the default install,
including first adding the fglrx driver packages, then removing all
fglrx-related packages and adding the xserver-xorg-video-ati package. Before
doing that, I had slow graphics and other freezing issues, which may or may
not be related.
