I need some clarification of these statements. You see instances where
the user interface hangs and never seems to recover, correct? When this
happens, is CPU usage by xorg extremely high? If it's not, then you
aren't seeing the same problem and should open a new bug. Also, if you
are not using Intel graphics then you are seeing a different problem as
this one is Intel-specific.

The fixes in the kernel from comment #34 are essentially backports of
several changes that are all already present in natty, so that kernel
isn't likely to help, unless what you're seeing is a regression between
the lucid and natty kernels. And in that case it is once again probably a
different issue than the one here.
