Gnome freezes in FC6



Every so often, my Fedora freezes. I've come to realize that it's only
the GNOME interface that actually freezes. I'm running Fedora in a
Parallels VM. I can ssh into the VM from my outside Mac and even pop
X-sessions from it, but I no longer have mouse or keyboard control of
Fedora's GNOME Desktop itself. Occasionally if I use ps -aux and choose
some graphical process (i.e. like Thunderbird or Firefox or an open
terminal window) and kill it, it "jump starts" GNOME and I get control
back. But this is "iffy" at best. Usually I just end up doing a "skill
-KILL -u van" and then logging back in.

Anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this and how I can fix
it? I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot this.
