Found one more data point - the cycling and even complete hang of the desktop environment only happen when I change screens quickly enough. When I press Ctrl-F1 and then quickly Ctrl-F2 etc to cycle the screens fast enough, so that the next presss happens before the last one finishes redrawing etc, then the symptoms appear. Using and old 600 MHz P3 probably increases the likelyhood of it happening.
