This issue still seems to be present in Lucid - I experienced a number
of white (or light grey) screen crashes lately.

As it is rather hot here these days, at first I thought this could be
related to an overheating graphics adapter (xserver-xorg-video-ati and
the 2.6.32 kernel do not support power management), but I saw the system
crash just yesterday after having placed an extra fan above the GPU's
heatspreader, so I guess this might rather not be a hardware related
issue.

Currently, I am suspecting compiz to be involved in this somehow; since
having deactivated it, I haven't experienced the crash again. Crashing
generally rather infrequently, of course it is too early to definitely
blame the issue on compiz though..
