The subject of this bugreport is misleading ("freezes system"), but I can confirm, that f-spot sometimes just blocks the mouse, the keyboard and the monitor. My system's is still alive and can be used via network (by ssh f.e.). When I kill f-spot (via ssh) everything goes back to normal, I can use the system as before. I guess, that all the others reporting the bug, don't really experience a system freeze! I even guess, that the one reported bug no. 104372 didn't experienced a total lock-up, but it just looks like one - if you can't use your mouse and keyboard, your monitor is frozen and you've got no network-machine to find out, if your computer's dead or not: How to find out?

I'm also using the Unichrome-GPU from VIA and the via-driver of x.org! There seems to be the problem.
