Hi Gabor, I've had all the problems you describe except #4.
For #1 I doubt it's an issue with RAM or swap as I've had it on a machine with 8GB RAM that was only running a couple of applications. I suspect it may be a remnant of the GPU hang issue with Intel integrated graphics [1] but I don't know how to analyse the problem to confirm that. For #2 and #3, the intermittent nature of the problem seems to suggest a race condition in startup and shutdown. I have no idea what package to report that against nor do I know how to debug that sort of problems. Maybe someone on the QA team can help with suggestions on how to investigate?
