Ok, that wasn't it. It froze in gnome-shell as well. In the exactly same
moment when external USB HDD was waking up (initiated by ls -l on some
folder in it). So over night I run full fsck on it. No errors reported,
but right now it seems to work (at least I wasn't able to reproduce the
freeze in single user mode, I'll see if it appears again in init 5).
/var/log/Xorg.0.log* and /var/log/messages show no traces about the
freeze.
So it appeared again, after several hours of usage (so it's much
better than it initially was), this time in gnome-screensaver. The USB
drive appeared to be running, so I guess kernel was frozen as well.

PS: Please accept my appology if anyone recieved the above quoted mail
multiple times. Evolution is crashing on me when sending emails so the
mail stays in outbox so I though it had never went out, but I've been
notified that's it had been sent 8 times or so already...
