I am suffering from frequent lock-ups of my desktop system (see Memory full, mostly taken by "shared", GUI unresponsive).

Example output of free -m:

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          15943        2583        3176        9063       10183        3574
Swap:             0           0           0

Why are > 9 GB taken by shared? How do I force this to be less?

I know it won't help but for anyone who needs to fix this You should probably do it through bios Imp There should some part of ram given to igpu Go to bios Select uma buffer size and select the lowest size possible If you have option don't turn it completely off I would prefer 1 gb if you have 16gb and 512 MB if you have 8gb You can increase these as per your needs :)
