Further information:
- An extended 'smartctl' test revealed no errors. So it's probably
not the disk.
- 'debsums -s' reported errors for a couple of files in OpenOffice;
everything else was fine.
I also did some fiddling with options in xorg.conf this morning.
Setting AGPMode to 1 does not improve behavior. Setting
AGPFastWrites to False does not improve behavior. The system still goes to
pieces when GL kicks in.
Setting DRI to False improves things -- GL acceleration is disabled,
but the system remains stable.
