I'm not sure if it's the same bug that's bothering me for quite a while, but at least it looks very similar, so I'll try it without opening another bug report.

Description:  About once a day, when either (a) having recently (re-)booted or (b) having resumed from standby/hibernate the system gets totally locked up, colourful horizontal stripes are drawn on screen and the only way to fix this is a reboot.  Rebooting from this state always results in some filesystem errors (I've come to literally love journaling FS) but the lockup doesn't show up again until the next day or so (not reproducible).

All the time I've kmail running with several IMAP accounts open; they're not automatically checking for new mail.  The lockup may appear (mostly after resume) when I explicitly ask kmail to check one of the accounts.  But after a fresh boot, when kmail renews the connection to the IMAP-servers on its own, it may also appear without me interacting.

This is not a hardware-caused problem as I thought earlier because it continues to appear even after I switched to another laptop.

It is, too, not version dependent: I had it with kdepim 3.5.5 that came with my distro (Debian 4.0) and with 3.5.9 that I compiled from source.

And I frequently check /var/log but *never* ever found any traces of this.

Thanks for any help, if you need logs or want me to use a debug build just contact me via email.
