FWIW, I also have a new T21, and see similar hangs to those you
describe.  I use Debian Potato (2.2), which I believe has XFree86
version 3.  (How can I get the exact version of X, BTW?)

I only get the hangs when running Gnome, and I've found empirically
that I get them much _less_ if I don't use Alt-TAB to switch between
windows.  (Which is a shame, since I like Alt-TAB!)

Maybe these clues might help...
