Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This is a strange one and not easily reproducible.  It only occurs if
gnome-do is running in docky mode AND I bring up a video by double
clicking on it.  I have gmplayer set as my default video player for
nautilus.

Sometimes when in this situation, the X screen starts flipping like an
old TV and becomes completely non-responsive.  CTRL-SHIFT-F1 sometimes
takes me to a virtual window where I can at least interact with the PC
locally.  However, I can not kill the X process - even with a kill -9.
I can't even shutdown cleanly.   The shutdown process halts.  I am
forced to hard reset.

Most of the time I have no problems.  It is as if each time bring up a
video in mplayer then close it down - some resource is being held.  The
more I do this, the more likely I am too encounter this bug.  I am in
the middle of ripping all of my DVDs to play on a media player so I am
looking at video all the time.
