I don't think it is the APM (it is disabled AFAIK - but I'll check)
But I did have a similar problem with specific screensavers under RedHat
- that is fixed now.

I was thinking a bit more and there is one other common factor to my
freezes:  One or other GNOME app is running.  Could be that GNOME is
unstable (or one of the libs)

I remember having problems with Ximian GNOME a while back on RH - Ximian
fixed this.  

Does anybody have problems with GNOME apps freezing?
