running gimp causes any window moves to lock up the system

ok, time for another bug report that i'm sure i'm the only one
seeing. :-)
on a fully-updated f11 beta system, i can drag windows all over my
desktop and, when i'm doing the drag to a new location, the cursor is
temporarily the tilted square with four smaller squares inside it. so
far, so good?
i just happened to start gimp and opened a png file, and never even
had time to start editing it when i tried to drag a window out of the
way, at which point the system locked up, leaving me with the square
cursor that i could still control, but everything else frozen.
after rebooting, i verified that i could open multiple xterms and
drag them all over the place. then started gimp, tried to drag and
... hang. exactly the same way. tested this two more times,
*exactly* the same result.
anyone else seeing this? i don't even have to *do* anything in gimp
-- it's just having it running that makes moving *anything* on the
desktop cause the system to hang. thoughts?

p.s. nothing related to this in /var/log/messages that i can see.
