Do you have the little power applet on your gnome task bar? My 2008.05 system upgraded to 93 seemed to exhibit the same problem--after leaving the gnome desktop up for a few days, I couldn't even start new processes such as mdb -k or new gnome-terminals. I noticed the power applet was something new in build 93 and after removing it from the task bar a few days ago, I haven't seen the problem. I've also rebooted a few times since it was removed. I haven't gotten around to filing a bug yet.
