The recent alpha series attacked this type of workspace crash directly. Check the patch/feature request trackers, someone may have ported the wheel mouse patch to 0.65.0 beta1. If you want to see the bug grab 'dance' from the test_code module. It does lots of rapid workspace changing. Crashed blackbox in about 20 seconds. Now it doesn't and generates enough X events to slow the system to a dead slug.
