Interesting, this problem seems to be related to using Kubuntu/KDE in my case (on the Samsung NC10) as issuing the following statement :-
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and selecting gdm as the default desktop for ubuntu and after reboot using "gnome" session from the login drop-down (instead of kde) solved the issue. I did have some problems with my synaptics touchpad after this (e.g. not working) but an update to the latest kernel 2.6.31-16 solved this also. Hopefully this may help some others and point others also in the direction of what the issue may be.
