Interesting, I have seen the same thing a couple of times recently - and my configuration is unusual enough that it may narrow down the cause a bit..
1. I am using a NCD X-Terminal on a local lan as my terminal server, so I know that the problem has nothing to do with the xorg server. 2. The screen/window manager is xdm/fvwm served by a BSD system, which also serves the fonts, and has been running 24/7 for about 9 years. So it is not KDE or KDM. 3. The problem has only happened since I installed Sarge on a notebook and started running applications from it on my NCD, so I believe it is something in Debian, and evidently not restricted to a single release, since you are using etch. I had assumed that it was a problem with an application that wasn't dealing properly with a remote x-term, and suspected mozilla and openoffice. Once it starts, it effects all applications, even ones running on different computers - so it appears to be some sort of resource problem caused on the server. Usually logging out completely and then logging back into my X session resolves the problem. Thats all I have at the moment. Hope that helps.
