I am suffering this bug all through July (since upgraded to Gutsy)~~~~
And I did search on google for any help, but it is a little strange , it seems nobody met such a problem.
At the beginning I met this problem, I though it should be a XFWM4 bug. Even if I keep updating every day, this problem always occurs till today ( Aug. 2).

But I have a workaround , that's , using metacity (the default window manager of GNOME) to replace XFWM4 every time when I login XFCE4. This works well. (Of course I am keeping updating every day to confirm whether or not it has been fixed some day).

This morning, when I updated Gutsy, I noticed the bug fix log " * debian/patches/00_fix_xfwm4_hang.patch: fixes system freeze when linked with gtk2 2.11.x (see Xfce #3346). ". Huh, maybe this fix would work for this problem? Now I am using XFWM4 ( not metacity ) , till now no freezing.
