What's your video card and window manager?
I was having trouble with windowmaker (and I think a few others were too),
but those went away when I switched to any other window manager (I tried a
few). Also, OpenGL apps are still not totally solid with my rage128 card
(said after having just played tux racer for a half hour straight :-) so
those have been factors for me having similar lockups.
