This bug is probably the same one reported in log #2180 and may be the
same one reported in #1511.

After browsing through several themes the system totally hangs and,
although  the mouse cursor will still move, the mouse buttons and
keyboard do nothing.  I have found no way to recover except to do a
hardware reset.  This, of course, causes major problems in rebooting the
system and in many cases files are lost.

The problem is with Linux-Mandrake 6.0, but I also have RedHat 5.2 on
other partitions of the same hard drive so I can mount the Mandrake 6.0
partitions under RedHat 5.2 and examine or repair them.

In the best case erasing .xpm files in the .kde directory in my home
directory cleared the problem.  In the worst cases I have lost files
that required me to reinstall Linux.  Among the files that were missing
were /etc/fstab, /var/lib/nfs/xtab and /usr/share/config/kdmrc.  In one
case the entire /home directory, which was on a seperate partition was
empty.

Another time I reinstalled kdebase, got another crash and, although
kdmrc was present it was empty after the crash and attempted reboot.

I have reinstalled Mandrake 6.0 at least 6 or 7 times because of damage
to the file system while trying to diagnose the problem.  In almost
every case I changed the size and locations of the partitions on the
hard drive, so I am confident that the problem is not a bad area on the
hard drive.  Also RedHat 5.2 and DOS partitions on the same hard disk
are stable.

I currently have Mandrake installed with a different file manager until
this can be resolved.

Paul
