The problem returned 09/22/11. This time the keyboard and mouse froze on the main page at news.yahoo.com. I did not have to visit a specific news web page as before to recreate this problem. This problem recurs after a long time of not having further incidents with news.yahoo.com, and I was surprised to see it return.

This has occured with USB mouse and PS-2 mouse and has been recreated several times since about 7/21/11. The only recourse upon lockup is to reboot the PC because there is no access to the Force-Quit control in the panel of Ubuntu 11.04.
