To narrow down the problem and assure yourself that it is a problem
with gnome, you might try the following:
Try a different window manager and/or desktop manager. For instance
install fluxbox or something (something small and simple) and use it
instead of gnome for a while and see how it behaves. Then if things are
working nicely, you now it is probably a problem with gnome and not
something weird like your video card driver or something.
Here are some other ideas:
1. Any runaway processes after the freeze? What does top show?
2. Try a different video card driver (like vesa)? I doubt this has
anything to do with it, but you never know...
3. Try a different window manager other than metacity. How about
sawfish? (Although it does sound more like a desktop manager problem
than a window manager, huh?). Again, you never know.
4. Load on an older version of gnome... Not sure how difficult that
is to do in redhat, but thought I would mention it.
