Description
When some applications are hard occupied disk with I/O then Gnome not response for mouse, keyboard and we must wait...
It couldn't be worse! We cannot kill this process because cannot open terminal or system monitor.
This situation is very irritating.

Well, this is more of a complaint or bug than an idea.
But I have also noticed that in some circumstances, the system can get unresponsive for 10-15 seconds or so.

I don't think that this is Gnome's fault, but rather the Kernel's or the scheduler's. At least, it would surprise me if Gnome schedules the CPU time to processes.

That happens in KDE too... I guess it's kernel-related. And sometimes it's not even possible to restart your X server (or whole system).

I think that gnome or other programs read some info from disk and if is not available then not response until can read own conf info. ... or maybe you are right with kernel problem..

I have no idea what's causing this but its extremely annoying and embarrassing since Windows have had asynchronous IO for ages.
