Over the last couple of days my taskbar keeps freezing. There’s no pattern to it. It just stops responding to mouse events and it seems any other events, since when windows close, they don’t leave the taskbar. The only thing I can do at that time is ALT-Tab to a terminal window, su - and reboot.
I’m running openSUSE 11.4 64-bit. I guess the only other thing I can tell you is the updates I’ve put in the last few days, since that’s likely the cause:
