I had similar problems (VERY annoying) and managed to work around them
by disabling the xfs font server. Since then it works quite well.
Just comment out the line:
FontPath "unix/:7100"
int your X config file. The problem seems to be the X server/xfs
protocol which deadlocks when using some TrueType fonts in Xinerama
mode. I'm not an Xpert so I can't tell you more.
Good luck,
Xav
