OK, back on the laptop again after a hard reboot.

During the session hang, there was no response from keyboard or mouse
clicks, although the mouse cursor was moving, and X applications were
responding. For example I managed to trigger a save operation in the
Gedit window I had open by using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a new terminal, then
running the following to trigger a keystroke to be sent to the window...

DISPLAY=":0" xdotool key --window `DISPLAY=":0" xdotool search
--onlyvisible --name "gedit"` "ctrl+s";

I'm deliberately using a kernel from LP-PPA-kernel-ppa/natty to test for
upcoming problems for Xorg with proposed kernels, so this may be worth
noting. I'll use whatever kernel PPA you think is most useful for this
testing from now on, if that's not the right way to go.

After the reboot, I noted there's a new release of Xorg appeared in the
last day or so in natty-updates, so I'm upgrading to that and we'll see
how we go.
