Hi Andreas:

I have faced some of the issues that you mention with 
  KDE 3.3
  FireFox 1.0.4
  Linux kernel 2.6.9-5 and 
  xorg-x11-6.8.1-23

However, I am still learning the ropes on FreeBSD and 
so unable to repro your observation on a FreeBSD machine.

thanks
Dev.

FreeBSD's compiled version of Xorg doesn't die like Linux's compiled  
version of Xorg; I narrowed my issues down to kernel drivers dealing  
with power management (and possibly the video card), but a lot of  
people had issues with Firefox, big fonts in X, and other various  
hardware junk.
