I can try forcing some animation with XMMS via some ACPI hotkeys on this 
machine.  I'll check into that next time it happens.  I also didn't 
think to look at the clock to see if there were any updates while in 
that locked state.  Other than the clock and Psi, I don't often have 
things running that change much themselves for me to take notice.

I actually ran into a different hang when I went to run through the 
process before I got into a problem and was left with just the console. 
  I attached gdb to the running pid and ran backtrace.  I don't know 
when this hang happened, as I wasn't using Psi for a couple days and had 
it minimized and off-line, but still running.  This hang leaves the Psi 
window as shown in the attached picture, but still responsive to the 
window manager, so I can move it, minimize, etc.

I'm assuming I have so many ?? because I need debug builds in there 
somewhere.  Do I need to modify my QCA2, Psi, and Qt libraries to all 
build with debug, or something else entirely?

I'm leaving this hung process running for a time in case there is 
anything else I can get from it in the current state.  Please let me 
know by Monday if I need to do anything with it (I need to get to the 
optical drive modular bay, and can't do that while the system is still up).
