I proceed as you wrote. Summary: With linux- image-2.6.35-999-generic_2.6.35-999.201006301005_amd64.deb as the latest mainline kernel and xorg-edgers I almost got the same error, desktop starts to hang after paraview action. No windows and keyboard interaction possible, only the mouse pointer can slowly be moved. But this time Alt+SysRq+k worked and kill the xserver. Therefore I could save the sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/ output. Attachments follow...
