Sorry about the timespan :(
Well actually it is the same issue. Originally the oom killer wasn't
being invoked and now the problem is still it isn't invoked - it
doesn't come and kill things - my desktop just sits :)
I have since replaced the hard disk - which I thought could be the
issue. I am thinking that because I have shared graphics not using KMS
- with intel graphics - this may be the root of the cause.
