Seeing the exact same behavior here on the same hardware: a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Intel GM965 / X3100 graphics chipset. Reiterating above: + mouse pointer still moves around, nothing else works. + only way out is hard reset. + can remotely login, but find absolutely nothing abnormal in log files (syslog, Xorg.0.log, etc).
For the record, I don't have slideshow wallpaper nor plasma widgets, so I don't think that's it. I do have desktop effects enabled. This laptop ran fine with Ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04, so something is different here; I suspect the Intel graphics driver. The install of 9.04 was a clean wipe & install. No idea how to troubleshoot this one, but it makes the system unusable. Also, I am using the latest stable Xorg drivers (via the X-Updates PPA), UXA acceleration, and have the workaround for the MTRR bug in place.
