I have updated all the updates out there so my OpenGEU is now current. I am doing fine except for one thing which is bothering the heck out of me.
Everything is working well for a period of time. Then randomly the computer will lock up and I can do nothing. This seems to happen most often when I have the web browser up, the emails up and I am sending an email that attaches some file to it. I then power off and log back in and find that the email went out just fine and OpenGEU is working just fine again. This happens about 4 or 5 times a day. So far it is just an annoyance but if it keeps up it will escalate to a deal breaker. There is no indication that this is going to happen nor is there an error message that I can see unless this could cause problems:

I had the same issue, sounds like you're having some sort of a kernel panic.
Check your logs to see if you can find anything out about it.
I solved mine kernel panics by switching to the open source ati driver (I use a radeon 9550)

Don't know if it is the kernel lockup or thunar lockup. I signed on again today after going elsewhere for a couple of days. I had 5 lockups in an hour and a half. Every one was when I was downloading a photo to the desktop. I would be able to save 3 or 4 photos and then the next one would lockup. I would have to sign off and sign back on. The photo had been saved but the lockup still occurred.
Looked in the DMESG and nothing there that would indicate a kernel lockup.

I am having the same issues, and I am attributing it to the crappy ATI video that I have... I can't get them to stop weather I am using the open source drivers or the ATI restricted drivers.
I finally gave up on trying to figure this out and searching for answers online and bought an NVIDIA video card, since 2 of my older PC using NVIDIA cards are not having any issues.
Looking at the system logs there doesn't appear to be any clues as to why X is hanging randomly.

Are you using Firefox, and if so, what version? I know when I tried MoonOs beta, I had the same issues as you are describing and it was Firefox.
Maybe try a different browser and see if it still locks up.

Are you using Bling? On my system (Dell laptop with ATI chipset), when I run Bling there's a memory leak with enlightenment. According to the the system monitor, enlightenment memory usage will go from maybe 25MB at startup to nearly 200MB as I work. Everything slows way down and the system becomes unstable. If you've been using Bling, try unloading it and see if that helps.

Yes I've been using bling.
I also noticed today that if I turned off desktop effects I didn't experience any hang ups... I even managed to play a few sessions of Open Arena and Nexuiz without any problems, other than Open Arena changing my desktop res on exit.
I will unload Bling see how that goes...
I did not find rss loaded.

Dang, unloading bling sort of kills one of my favorite features of switching to Linux  So I loaded it back and set the desktop effects to simple to see how that goes... Hopefully with the drivers I installed from ATI things go better for me until the new nvidia card I ordered gets here... |

It seems to be bling is the culprit... did ok all day with desktop effects on simple. switched to more, and the lock ups returned... no bling bling for me Man I hope that is a driver issue and switching to NVIDIA will fix it |
