Is everything blocked during that time (animations in other apps and things
like that)? Or is it just the keyboard and/or mouse input?
I ask because in X11 there are 3 kinds of grabs that could be the problem
(server, mouse and keyboard)

to debug this with gdb you will need to run the gdb at a console or screen
session, that's still usable with "hung" X11... then you should be able to
get a backtrace with Ctrl-C and then bt in gdb...
