i have done a bit more testing. here are some additional notes:

i have found a reliable way to trigger the issue. i am using firefox-esr.
to cause the x-freeze issue, i can play a youtube video. and as it is
playing, i repeatedly move the mouse over the video, and then off of it.
this causes the "play controls" at the bottom of the youtube video to
appear and disappear repeatedly. eventually this triggers the problem. the
mouse pointer gets sluggish, the video starts to stutter and eventually
stops updating all together. the mouse gets very sluggish and after a while
will not move at all. sometimes takes several minutes of moving the mouse
to move 1cm on the screen -- that sort of thing.

during this time the keyboard seems to remain responsive: i can ctrl+alt+f2
into a terminal, and although i cannot see the terminal because the x
screen is frozen still, i can log in as a user, run commands that seem to
execute immediately, and if i hold the backspace key i get repeated rapid
beeps from the computer. this suggests to me that the keyboard and the rest
of the system remains responsive, and only x is hung/frozen.

since i am now able to trigger this issue at will, i have tested several
times where i log in to terminal, run a command, and then reboot with
ctrl+alt+del. i have done this several times now and not triggered the
"unable to log in after screen freeze" issue, so that part of it remains
intermittent -- i am USUALLY able to log in after the x-freeze without
interventions. twice now however i have been unable to until i modified
permissions (ownership) on files in my home directory, as described
previously in this bug report.
