So I had the freeze bug several times after upgrading from Ubuntu 8 to 9 (compiz and screen effects enabled).
I used an own customized xorg.conf, so it was not upgraded automatically.

Found the workarounds here and set virtual size to 2560x2048, MigrationHeuristic to greedy and AccelMethod to EXA in xorg.conf

Works without any freezes now for the last 10 days, so this seems to fix it. (using IntelMobile GME965 rev 03)

Anyway, this fixed the symptoms - but not the mysterious cause of all!
