Hello, I am having the same problem under RH 8.0. I have an AMD Athlon 600Mhz and a matrox G400 card. I have found that KDE does not hang the system while gnome does for some reason. I have also noticed that I have been having problems with X since upgrading to RH 7.3 from 7.2. My monitor blanks when I load up large images and then I cannot move windows. I switched graphics cards, but the problem remained. I am still trying to figure out what is going on. I am currently going back to 7.2.
