It would have been better if you had started a new topic for this.

I too sometimes face this problem of desktop getting freezed up. Right
click doesn't work too.
I googled and found out that the problem occours due to
bonobo-activation-server , but don't know how
I kill this process using
killall bonobo-activation-server

and then restart X using Ctrl+Alt+Bksp

It wold be better if you can show the last section of Xorg.0.log
