I don't have it either... 

I'm more hopeful about the patch from Mathieu <cheuche+lkml () free ! fr>...

this far and it feels like a closer match to what windows does from what

I haven't even come close to testing this yet, I've only been up 45 mins
but i'll leave it running and do what i usually do when it hangs... =)

I'll get back to you about how it goes...
