Well, no. Running out of entropy should never freeze the desktop. (If it 
did, that would be a DoS-class operating system bug.)

In that case, the only other things *I* can think of that might freeze 
the desktop are some problem with the X server (perhaps unlikely), or 
some problem with the virtual machines. Virtualization involves both the 
kernel and the CPU, and thus might hang your machine if it doesn't work 
right. Does your virtualbox work at all with your new kernel?
