I have the same problem with my machine (also an intel video card).  One
way around the freezing behaviour is to turn off compiz before you open
up the display properties box.  Alt+F2 and

metacity --replace

beforehand.  Then plug in your monitor, configure, apply and run

compiz --replace

afterwards.

Of course, it seems like this run of the intel drivers doesn't get EDID
info correctly, so you might not even be able to configure the external
monitor the way you want, but there it is.
