I just ran into the same problem without using gdb at all:

Start Firefox. Run "ksysguard". Select the firefox process, right-click,
and choose "Monitor Input&Output". go back to using Firefox, wait for
about a minute, and the desktop will become frozen.

This time, I have no idea who holds the lock, or how to fix it without
restarting X.
