No problem, I think we can work together to find the real cause.

Sounds like the window manager or the xserver.

I will now ask you for information, do not hesitate to ask for help if
you don't know how to obtain any of it.

It would be nice to know the versions of:
- xfce
- xorg-*
- kernel seems to be 2.6.18-4-686 

What video hardware do you have?
What kind of mouse and keyboard do you have?
Can you attach your xorg.conf file?
How do you startx?

Can you follow these steps:

- move $HOME/.xsession-errors to $HOME/.xsession-errors.bak 
- reproduce the problem, "move a window of a programm to another
  desktop..." 
  - can you still ping the machine?
  - can you change to a text console using ctrl-alt-F1?
  - and reboot :(
- send me both your .xsession-errors* files
- send me the output of dmesg

Unfortunately life is complicated and so are computers, no need to
apologize, we have all faced this "polstegeist" kind of problems from
time to time. The more info you can provide, the better we can find out
what's going on.

Happy hacking!
