I confirm Victor's comments. I tried with a blank screensaver and the
problem remains. If I disable the screensaver, the system remains stable
much longer (there seem to be _other_ problems with X).

So bottom line:

recreate 1:
--------------
 - configure a screen saver (blank)
 - let the computer idle for a few hours
 - when returning from the screensaver, Xorg sits at 100% CPU and yields a 
moving cursor over empty background. No windows, no menu etc. Keyboard not 
responsive either  (no ctl-alt-backspace, no ctl-alt-F1...)
 - killing X takes you to "recreate 2"

recreate 2:
--------------
 - log in under GDM (enter a gnome session)
 - log out
 - log in again => X starts spinning at 100% and  yields a moving cursor over 
empty background. No windows, no menu etc. Keyboard not responsive either (no 
ctl-alt-backspace, no ctl-alt-F1...)

In either case, the only option is to reboot the computer.

I have the _impression_ that using a GL screensaver (such as hypetorus)
accelerates the recreate 1 procedure. In this scenario, hypertorus would
sit at 100% CPU. Killing it would yield an Xorg at 100% CPU, and then
continue from step 3 of recreate 1.


** Summary changed:

- X hangs and not recoverable after screen power save mode on Dell Hybrid Studio
+ X hangs and not recoverable after screen saving or logout/login with intel 
965gm
