I suspect a memory leak in the compositor.It's entirely possible, but I also read the bug report at the link I provided and apparently the Xorg Intel driver segfaults for some reason, leading to the freeze. Since it hasn't happened to me again, I haven't been able to see what the issue with Greta is. I would have to drop to a shell and view dmesg output if it happens again.
I also heard of Magic Sysrq, a key combination that can let you rescue a frozen system (provided a kernel panic hasn't occurred), or intentionally crash it. I need more research on it first.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
