This may be similar to yet another weird one on my Acer.  I hadn't
noticed it because I either use fluxbox or openbox and opera. 

However, I found out yesterday that if I run any gtk app that I can
think of (nautilus, firefox, gedit) and I have a network connection it
freezes.  That is, I can boot up with both wired and wireless set to not
start.  I can boot into gnome, open firefox, and the like.  However, as
soon as I make a network connection, whether wired or wireless, no gtk
application will run.  KDE is fine, opera is fine, openbox, fluxbox and
all xterms (save urxvt as per an earlier thread) run without problems.  

I haven't yet seen anything useful in /var/log/messages, but I just
discovered this late last night and only did a cursory search. 
(tail /var/log/messages).
