The kernel has had this very odd bug since version 2.6.32.10, but once
even 2.6.32.9 did it--though it had not done this before I used
2.6.32.10 for the first time. And it happened just a couple of hours or
so ago with 2.6.32.11. And it usually happens when I have Firefox
running, especially in the foreground, and move the cursor to the bottom
of the screen to reveal the panel, which I keep hidden.
But I have not been able to capture any debugging information.
I happen to think that Firefox does a lot of things for me that
Konqueror cannot handle. For example, Konqueror cannot handle the many
Java scripts that, say, Digg.com has. "Digging," even when I am logged
on, always seems to go nowhere in Konqueror.
