Sorry, I didn't know it was unclear. The system freezes. The whole thing is dead. I need to do a hard power down because nothing else works. At least, nothing I tried, and I tried everything I could think of, several times.

Desktop and simple applications are fine, but opening OpenOffice and FireFox cause the system to completely hang - all I can do is to reboot with the power or reset button. Similarly, the system hangs when any application displays a transparent drop-down menu. When I start a Failsafe session, Appearance Preferences say 'no visual effects' and OpenOffice and FireFox don't hang. So it seems to hang when the system tries to display a 'visual effect' - suspect it is linked to the Alpha Channel functionality. When I load a normal Gnome session, the menu to select Application Preferences displays a transparent dropdown, so the system hangs and I can't check that 'visual effects: none' is not selected... What should happen? The system not hanging would be a good start... I can live without transparent drop down menus for a while. Follow-up: when browsing through the screensavers, one of them ('Euphoria') caused the system to hang. Which rather fits the pattern. Whenever I try to access the screensavers now, Euphoria is the default and the system hangs, preventing me from changing it - which is annoying, but just another example fo the bug at work.
