I have found the curlpit, the desktop I did not mention was Fluxbox 1.3.7. I have created a new user on that box and started migrating all the software (firefox, thunderbird, terminals etc) to the new user but they were not the problem it was the window manager itself.

There is something in the main config file (init) which causes this lockup/freeze issue. I have copied the keys file, menus file those are not the problem.

At this point it doesn’t even matter because I just started with a clean init config but still share this maybe someone find it useful some day.

So something in this config causes the issue.

There are 2 other problems (which were not present with 3.5) with it, namely the toolbar does not extend to the end of the desktop and the windows extremely sensitive to move to other workspaces, meaning if you just move them a bit left or right it jumps all over the 4 workspaces but that does not belong to this topic as its not related to the crash.
