I have reproduced the bug using the mainline kernel. I installed linux- image-2.6.35-999-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/daily/current/, and rebooted running that kernel. I was running Chromium, Xchat and Banshee w/ no problem, so I decided to try to stress the system a bit more. I started Tomboy and opened one of my notes with no problem. I opened Nautilus and the system started swapping. I tried to get a vmstat by ssh'ing into the system, but by the time I was able to login the swapping had subsided. It started again and I ran vmstat to collect some stats. Don't know if this is useful, but will attach it.
