My luck with USB NICs has been pretty bad as well. Any chance of
going to a more reliable connection?
Keep in mind that with XDMCP, the display is being managed by a
remote machine. If you lose contact with that machine (like, say,
because of a flaky NIC), would you not expect the terminal to appear
to have locked up? It may be running fine itself, but if it can't
send input to the XDMCP server or get display updates back...
