The alarm-clock freeze is a completely different, unrelated bug. The
workaround for it is to ssh in an kill the alarm-clock process, and X
will come back. There is another bug report on that, you can probably
find it in launchpad filed against -intel.

This 359392 freeze cannot be recovered from except by power cycling.
