I have mentioned this on the Orca list but not sure if this is an Orca or a Ubuntu problem but I seem to hav3e this problem where after a certain length of time, applications freeze in Lucid and I don't think it has anything to do with having to type a password because the screensaver has come on and I am asked for my password to unlock the screen. What seems to happen is that either applications refuse to either launch or if they are launching which I think they possibly might be sometimes is that Orca doesn't read them like it isn't focusing on the app I am trying to use. I am guessing that they may be launching because sometimes if I press ALT plus F4 I get back to the application which may be running at the time or it will go to the desktop. I thought this application freezing problem might have had something to do with how i installed Lucid or even an old disk which wasn't installing properly but I have done a fresh install with the same CD and even tried burning a fresh one and doing another install only I am having this same strange problem. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I also thought it might have had something to do with installing certain software such as Extra pluggins only it does this thing without such software being installed. This is a problem which even sometimes causes me to have to something as drastic as pressing and holding the power button of my computers as CTRL ALT delete doesn't appear to work these days. It is a problem which I wonder if anyone else has noticed. If it is a serious problem I have found unfortunately I don't have the technical knowhow to be able to file a bug on it, create a report or whatever on the thing. This problem may for example happen when using Transmission when it has been left for a while and you try to for example open Evolution but this even happens with single apps when you have left the PC for a while and sometimes it acts like it loggs out and it wants your username and password again and sometimes entering these details unfreezes the PCs and sometimes it doesn't so it seems to me to be a strange problem.
