Hmm... so the sample just shows quartz-wm waiting for events (ie: idle).

It's odd that sampling quartz-wm would fix the issue for you.  Are there any messages like "quartz-wm: caught exception: ..." in /var/log/system.log?

Can you verify that the correct quartz-wm is being run?  'ps aux | grep quartz-wm' should show /opt/X11/bin/quartz-wm and not /opt/local/bin/quartz-wm or /usr/bin/quartz-wm... althought I think both of those versions should be fine as well...
