Can't say at the moment as the system is still running Gutsy, and it's my computer instability hating wife's laptop, so no upgrade to a beta OS. :( Did a complete re-install (of Gutsy) a few weeks back though and I haven't seen this problem since. This is no guarantee though as I've done complete re-installs on it before only to have the problem resurface a few weeks later. Could be that a kernel upgrade did the job for us though...
I'll make sure I report back here if the problem happens again.
