--- Comment #18 from Tassilo Horn <tsdh at gnu.org> ---
The GNOME dev Jasper St. Pierre said that you, Chris, confirmed that it's not a
bug in the gnome-shell's damage behavior, so I'm reopening this ticket:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689519#c8

In the meantime, I've upgraded to

  x11-base/xorg-server (1.13.1 at 27.12.2012)
  x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel (2.20.16 at 27.12.2012)
  media-libs/mesa (9.0.1 at 30.12.2012)
  x11-libs/libdrm (2.4.40 at 13.12.2012)

and still have those freezes.

However, I'm pretty certain that it has something to do with dual-screen
setups.  Today, when I had my first day at work after 1.5 weeks, I had a freeze
within 10 minutes after startup.  After a reboot, I disabled the notebook LCD
and now only use the external monitor.  Since then, I didn't have another
freeze.  At home, I don't use a second monitor, and there I've never had a
freeze so far.

So disabling the dual-screen setup seems to be a workaround for avoiding the
freezes, although it's not really feasible for me because I frequently have to
use beamers to present my display to a student audience.
