I have the crash after 20 minutes problem on a machine where I run gdm
and gnome.
I have no solution either.
It's a PC, not a laptop. It uses an ATI Radeon 8500DV video card,
and I'm running it in VGA mode for lack of better drivers.
It does not happen on my other machine, where I am running xdm and icewm.
I'm running gdm on the first machine because X crashed immediately when I
used kdm -- kdm wouldn't come up at all. Maybe that's a related problem?
