Yes, I know. :) 
But the same freeze happens also with normal Lenny package. And the backport 
is yours!

It will be a log before the freeze.
There is no log after the freeze (the thin client graphical interface froze 
with no warnings and ssh connections just freeze along with everything else).

:-) We have exchanged some emails together when I bought 4 Thincans.

They were bought around may 2008.

Even if it is before the freeze ?
I'm not familiar with gdb, but does something like running startx through gdb 
(and then bt if it is not freezed) useful for you?
It will be done in a week or two.

FYI, this guy has posted on ltsp-discuss about the same problems happening 
with openchrome and other drivers:
