I tried that kernel today:

	Linux lubuntu 3.11.0-7-generic #14~lp1227202v1 SMP
	Wed Sep 18 16:02:47 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Unfortunately the system still managed to freeze up when I launched an
app a few minutes ago.  Plugging and unplugging USB devices has not had
an effect.  I think you might be the only one to be able to do it on
demand with that Zynga thing.

I will be trying Leszek Lesner's suggestion with zram for the rest of
the day:

	sudo swapoff /dev/zram0
	sudo swapoff /dev/zram1
	sudo rmmod zram

But it will probably take until tomorrow to be sure, unless it freezes
first.
