After some tries, now it works!
I must preliminarly say theat I've an ATI Radeon 9600 XT, and the ati xorg driver ("ati") works perfectly (maybe because 3D acceleration isn't supported by "ati" driver for this board).
So I'm using fglrx closed source driver, and I've resolved adding this option to xorg.conf:

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

in Section "Device"

This section now appears as:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
 Driver "fglrx"
        Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
EndSection

(the section was generated by 'aticonfig --initial', I've only added the Option...).

Now Xorg doesn't freeze after a session restart.
Tested on Kubuntu 6.06 LTS

I hope this helps, you must say!
