In case it helps... I'm too lazy to submit a new bug report, sorry... Synopsis: For me it seems to have been the nvidia-319 driver. No hangs since changing to nvidia-331 (over a week now).
Symptoms: X hangs, reporting 100% CPU utilization. System is responsive, can ssh in for diagnostics. Diagnostic Summary: Profiled system, Xorg seems to get stuck in the nvidia drivers.
