I've had this happening on and off since then, even when testing with 
completely new user accounts, so the above was not a solution. I'm now 
on Gnome 2.20.2.

However, since source upgrading world and kernel from RELENG_6 to 
RELENG_7 (note *not* rebuilt ports yet), I have not encountered any 
hangs (been about 8 days, usually enough for 1 or 2 them). However it is 
still early days... I'll update in a another week or so with whether the 
trend continues or not.

Mark
