I may have missed part of this thread, but is there any useful info in
~/.xsession-errors after a lockup? What about /var/log/xdm.log and/or
/var/log/XFree86 ?

Before you go to all that trouble why install a lightweight
Window Manager like blackbox or even twm and run that for a day and see
if you still lockup. You can just start your programs from an xterm if
you can't launch them from applets/menus.
