This happens immediately on login, so the login never completes unless
I waggle the mouse.
Curiously, a screensaver that I tried doesn't suffer from the same problem.
This is on a Dell Inspiron 1410 laptop which has the following display adapter:

Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 here, similar (but much more benign) sympthoms:
Sometimes firefox (most noticeable, also others) graphical applications
just stop until I move the mouse or something such.
