Yep, but this is an effect, not the cause of X crash.
I just looked in the c funcion that generates this message
(gnome-libs-1.2.1/libgnorba/gnome-name-server.c), and it seems
that this message when the connection with X is lost.
Then : the X server crasheed/exited/whatever and because of this GNOME
issued the message.

like it is happening when your laptop is idle for some time. This suggests
two possible reasons (just guesses, anyway):
- the screen saver : check if it is enabled. Try to run it and see
what happen. Try disabling it.
- APM : check if it is enabled. Try to suspend/resume the laptop and see
what happens. Try disabling it.
Ciao.
