Not to speak for Jason, but I think he meant for you to check if the system was 
locked up or just the X. Did you try ssh into the machine, or similar? Also, are 
you running GNOME or KDE. I suspect that there is more GNOME testing than KDE, 
and even less if you have the worthless frills.. I mean "visual enhancements" 
turned on. ;-)
