I suspect what you saw may have been a transient Xorg glitch. If you can, try to reproduce the problem on a machine with a different graphics card (and therefore a different Xorg driver).

--------------------------------------------------------------------- How have I made these photos: I started the session normally. I started Top with 20 seconds between measurements. I looked at the display of Ksysgard, I had previously modified to sample every 5 seconds. Ho, chance: the system was in our case. I tried an "Alt + F2" to start Ksnapshot ... Chance again, the appearance of the command window did not "unlocked" the system. I waited. Just after a refresh of the display of Top, I pressed "Enter", happy to have photographed a rare bird. The only unexpected thing is that Ksnapshot was programmed to wait for 2 seconds. Of course, the launch of Ksnapshot broke the deadlock, and the second photo is nothing exeptional as is that of a "normal" situation.
I think it may be important to note that my system is outdated. My previous experience of updating Ubuntu resulted at least twice a complete reinstallation of the system after hours lost for download and hard to reboot. I prefer to keep the system functioning as it is now. The basic system is what's on the DVD "10/10 kubuntu-trinity-enterprise" downloaded 8/26/2011.
Good luck to everyone, Patrick
