Dear Fedora group,
Yesterday I updated the lastest F16 fixes. E.g.
mesa-dri-drivers-7.11-11.fc16.i686
today, twice, the system has hung completely as I opened a
new window. The new window was different on the two occasions;
emacs last time.
/var/log/messages has nothing in it.

Try to disable alll forms of compositing, i.e. if using gnome shell
switch to fallback mode, if KDE, disable all desktop effects.

I have no idea if it is related, but twice with F16 I've had Gnome
completely lock up. The mouse pointer would move, but otherwise the
screen was completely unresponsive, not even any of the keyboard hot
keys would work (Alt-F*, ctrl-alt-del, etc).
However the OS was still running, and I could ssh in from another
machine. After killing the gnome session processes everything would be
okay, no reboot needed.
When it locked it up I was usually "playing" pretty hard with the
gnome interface, opening and closing windows quickly, etc. I do use
emacs, but none of my lockups involved interaction with any emacs
windows.
Using gnome-shell-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64

I've had a few gnome-shell hangs with f16. In all cases,
ctrl-alt-backspace worked to kill it and it then restarted.

I just had a Gnome lockup as I was reading your message.
ctrl-alt-backspace did not work.
Rather than hijack the OP's thread, which I suspect may be different
from a Gnome problem (unless he follows up otherwise), I'm going to go
try to collect some logs and other things and create a new email
thread in a few moments....

FWIW, I am seeing exactly same response on F14
complete lock up, pointer moves.
I was not able to ssh in from my wife's iMac (normally, I can)
this version of F14 was from a fresh install, hardisk install from the iso.
I have another version of F14 (preupgrade from F12) which I am using now,
that is not experiencing this lock up
