Just to clarify... I did hunt down another machine at some point and try
debugging that way. It took forever to do anything (I was able to type at about
4 chars per minute) and after about 15 minutes of X being hung the machine froze
up altogether (stopped responding to the network, etc).
Once it gets into that state, the only thing I've found that will resolve the
situation is a hard reboot. Before then, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works (with a 3-4
minute lag).
