I am running Folding at Home, which is started by Xfce when it launches. It 
also launches gAIM and Skype automatically. Other than that, there's 
nothing else launched when Xfce starts, and the hanging is pretty 
random, although it almost always happens just after I click on 
something, be it a hypertext link or a menu button. I can't remember 
exactly what comes after X in top, but I think it was Folding at Home. (So 
I presume the next step would be to disable Folding at Home and see if the 
freezing continues?)
