Although this is not a window manager suggestion, I would like to offer something that I just went through. I experenced 'random' hangs and was blaming the WM after changing to another, still experenced the same thing, made another change still same problem. Although I was not running a dual system, I was running an AMD Athlon 950 w/768megs ram, so I could not understand why this was happening across the board. Then finely on one of these 'random' hand the system would not come back up, one of the drives had failed. After removing the drive, I have not had a problem (knocking on every piece of wood I can find ;-) sence, and I have tried all the WM again. It seems that the drive was getting ready to fail and would randomly 'choke', but on reboot would start up again.
Not sure if this will help, but...
