  Thanks for the explanation. I do not believe that I'm running anything 
like that. This is a laptop set up 9 months ago using nothing more than 
the standard Gentoo setup instructions. Basically I do email, browse and
play some games. My problems surfaced after starting to use recent 
versions of Wine -AND- emerging the most recent version of xorg-x11. 
Wine runs fine, but when I exit X to shut the machine down the machine 
would lock up. However, if I don't run Wine I never seem to see the problem.

    I've switched back to xorg-6.7 and I'm not seeing the problem nearly 
as much.
