Hi @ all!
So the story went like this:
In 10.10 PackageKit popped up and told me to do dist-upgrade. So I did and everything went well. Rebooted logged in again. Moved my mouse around a bit clicked on some menu -> freeze!
And like totally, no Ctrl+Alt+F1, no ssh, no ping, nothing. Pressed the reset button, logged in again. Ssh in from another machine and watched /var/log/messages from there. Did some clicking around -> froze again! Nothing in the log. Rebooted, completely removed everything nvidia, rebooted installed nvidia stuff again -> same thing. Ssh in from that other machine again, watching dmesg this time -> kernel panic -> yay! That one was pointing to cdemu and vhba-module.
So I removed everything cdemu and vhba-module -> no freezing any more!
As far as I can see cdemu and co. debs for 11.04 are on the way. Though I'm left wondering why these packages weren't removed during update? Hopefully this helps someone :-)
edit: after some usage of my usual apps, and no freeze so far, I would say this is solved.
Cheers

Ps.: I'm a big fan of Ubuntu and Kubuntu in particular. It's my one and only OS for 2 and a half years now. I switched from windows and never looked back. Rating: Awesome!
