Hello Caitlin!

First of all, thanks for your response and sorry for my late
reply.

I tried again with the system up-to-date with respect to current
Debian testing.
Unfortunately I am still able to reproduce the bug exactly as
originally reported.

The memory capacity is 8 GiB, the graphics chipset is Intel G45/G43.
Please see the attached output of glxinfo, dmesg, and the X log.

I am using the Fluxbox window manager.

It seems to freeze as soon as I maximize the window (after minimizing
it) or as soon as I switch workspace and then come back, and possibly
after other GUI actions.
So it depends on when I perform those actions...


I hope this helps to pinpoint the bug...
Please let me know, in case you need further information,
but please take into account that the machine where I experience
the bug is a production box: hence, I cannot afford to power-cycle
it too often...   :-(

Thanks for your time.
