Often with these 100% X cpu bugs, the problem is caused by a client
application, which is stuck in a loop making X requests.  In such cases,
the debugging procedure is to examine your process table (e.g. `ps aux`)
and start killing processes one by one until the system unfreezes.

However, the fact that this occurs on resume makes this bug sound a bit
different.  It can't hurt to try the above, and it might turn up
something (I'd probably test killing gnome-settings-daemon, compiz/unity
and some of the other gnome infrastructural bits first).

If all that fails, you can connect to the running X process using gdb
and gather a series of backtraces to see what series of routines it is
hitting.  strace can be used here too, although with the X server it
produces so much output it's often unusable for diagnostics.
