I'm not one to post multiple replies in the same day, but I believe I've found a VERY easy workaround to this.

I added the Ubuntu-X repository for Karmic, and did a dist-upgrade. I have been using version 2.9.0 of the Intel driver (and supporting Mesa update) for the past few hours... not a single freeze (I usually see the freeze with the Intel driver a minute or two after login).

For reference, the PPA is here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/

Machine stats: Dell Dimension 3000
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

...this is really working well, so far.
