I also notice similiar problems in the 5.0 release with the intel video driver -several xterms open and the mouse would freeze. I tried amd64 current, which had a more recent intel video driver, and the problems went away.

I would be wary of jumping into current at this time though. I have noticed that there were a flurry of package releases in just the i386 port and that radeon driver had to be reverted.
