I'm currently running 0.16.999.49898, but I've seen this in the past,
as well (just not as frequently).

I see this when using OpenOffice Calc (spreadsheet). I'll have
multiple Calc documents open, at least one with Calc's "find and
replace" window up. Calc keeps the "find and replace window" on top of
the associated document window. Sometimes, if I catch the edge of the
document window with the mouse cursor (I have raise on mouse-over
turned on), it seems to get stuck in a loop, switching back an forth
between the document window and the "find and replace" window until I
move the mouse cursor away (it cycles so fast that I can't count how
many times it does so in just the second or two it takes to move the
cursor away).

Eventually, when the above happens, I'll get the "enlightenment has
crashed, would you like to recover or exit" popup. If I say "recover,"
it appears to do so just fine, but if I keep using Calc, within the
next 5 to 10 minutes, the window manager will hang[1]. Whichever
program/window has focus when this happens still works fine, and the
GkrellM that I have running keeps updating. However, any action
involving the WM (moving the window, switching to a different window,
etc) doesn't work. If I switch to the console, I can kill programs,
and when I switch back to X, the space where those windows were are
now just black rectangles.

Not sure what other information to include.

[1] The hang doesn't always appear to co-incide with an occurrence of
the rapid cycling of focus.
