My symptom freezes the whole screen for a few seconds, maybe as many as five.  During 
the freeze nothing than be done, even video from tvtime is kaput, but audio 
continues.  The freeze was initiated when moving the mouse between open windows, 
causing a focus shift.  Very annoying!

I followed Rajko's link above and tried a one-click dbus upgrade from this repository:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rwooninck:/testing-knm4/openSUSE_11.3/

So far, this seems to have fixed the problem on my 64-bit Nvidia system!  Thanks to 
everyone for the pointers.

Regards,
Lew
