I tested several times without X, with X running only in backgroud (i.e. me 
initiating the suspend from console) and from xdm only. Never it froze. That 
leads me to the conclusion that it is probably related to composite. I'm 
using KDE 4.2.

Here is the corresponding section from Xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "945 GM"
  BusID        "0:2:0"
  Driver       "intel"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "NoDDC"
  Option       "usevnc" "no"
  VendorName   "Intel"
  Option      "ExaNoComposite" "false"
  Option      "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
EndSection
