This machine is no longer exhibiting this behavior because i turned off
hardware acceleration for X11 with the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "intel"
Option "NoAccel" "true"
EndSection
(i arrived at this thanks to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/304871/comments/42 )
as a result, graphics are a bit cruftier on the machine, but it
continues to work at least.
I can't afford to upgrade this machine directly to lucid at the moment.
when i do, i'll remove the xorg.conf and see if i can coax the problem
to recur.
