Title:
  Ubuntu is suddenly becoming non-responsive ( freezing ) in various
  scenarios

Status in Plymouth:
  Invalid
Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  This issue is struggling me for already ~ 2 months or so, so I decided
  to collect the data and report and HOP[E THAT SOMEONE will actualy do
  something, not just say usual stuff / crap like "your package is non
  genuine ubuntu package" or "use the packages that are native for your
  distribution and version" et cetera ...

  So, in most cases this non-responsiveness / freeze occurs after:

  1. Opening Opera 11.01 ( latest for Ubuntu ) if FireFox 4.0 is opened ;
  2. Machine Uptime, lomger than 12 hours ( in idle ) ...

  Result sometimes, after freezing and thus waiting is that GDM is
  crashed and automatically I am dropped to bash ( w/o GUI ).

  In this non-GUI mode there is line with message saying "Plymouth:
  crashed".

  After runniing "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" system successfuly launches
  Gnome and PC is usable again.

  This issue occurs with various kernels ( MGTK 2.6.36 ; .37 ) and
  various Fglrx ( previously with AMD Catalyst 10.12 ; now with AMD
  Catalyst 11.3 ) versions. I simply do not know what are my options.

  Please inform what logs you need.
