Just a couple things that came to mind when reading the bug description and comments...

When X "freeze", if you switch to a VT (by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1), and then back into X (by pressing Alt-F7), is X still "frozen"?

I also wonder if it could be a problem specific to Xv. I do notknow if Totem output using Xv by default, but mplayer. So, since mplayer trigger the freeze when playing a video using the default Xv output driver, you could test in a pinch a different output driver with a command such as:

    mplayer -vo gl /usr/share/exemple-content/Experience\ Ubuntu.ogg

Or even:

    mplayer -vo x11 /usr/share/exemple-content/Experience\ Ubuntu.ogg

If either or both work (as in, do not freeze X), then we are on to something.
