Complete interface, meaning:
- All running apps, e.g. I can no longer changes tabs in rekonq, switch to a 
different mail in kmail, switch from kmail to akregator in kontakt

- KWin effects, e.g. cube animation for desktop switch hangs in the middle of 
the effect

- Text input into e.g. kwrite. Since I am mostly using kde software, I am not 
sure if gtk is affected also, but I would guess so, since in my view the busy 
disk is the cause of all evil. :)

The mouse pointer is movable all the time, but the system does not respond to 
clicks.

If you need anything more, please let me know.
