Just a side note. I have possibly a same situation but with different 
outcome. In my case I use Enlightenment 17 and my desktop hangs having 
thunderbird or firefox in uwait. When I kill such offending process 
Enlightenment dumps core and exits. This thing manifests for me when a 
lot of windows are created and destroyed (like confirmations or so). If 
I turn full screen composing off the error vanishes. My video card is 
GeForce 8500 GT.

I know this is not much, but it looks like in my case firefox is not the 
offender but rather a victim. I haven't filed a pr because it could me 
my imagination or my dirty hands somewhere...
