@José Tomás: Clean vanilla jaunty has this issue. It was released on
April 23rd. The development version before April 3rd did not have this
issue. It should be possible to get an alpha version from before this
date, but I don't think the in-between packages are readily available.

@zwaldowski: I don't think you qualify as a "normal user". You seem to
be far to technically apt for that. While it is pretty hard to get
bugs in Jaunty fixed now (the upstream developers aren't terribly
interested in fixing "old" stuff, the SRU process is cumbersome but
necessary to avoid breaking new things in a stable release), this is a
great time to get bugs fixed in Karmic. This is not a recommended
workaround for "normal users", but it is the way technically
knowledgable users like yourself can help make sure the problems are
addressed before the next version. If you file a new bug report
(preferably with the ubuntu-bug command) using Karmic, that will
definitely help. Karmic also has better tools for debugging freezes
like this.
