That's a hang from the graphics developers point of view, your graphics card has crashed and X is spinning waiting for the card to come back and say it is okay.. something it never does...

I probably restart X about 5-10 times per working session and I've never seen this yet, I'll do a few more reboots, we have a known issue with a bug fix that went into X and I'm not sure if it is in your X packages but it probably is.. can you tell me the FC4 xorg rpm titles so I can check it, if it causing problems on AGP systems as well I'll be pushing RH to release new X packages with a proper fix, that benh is working on at the moment..
