Some time ago, the nvidia driver had a timing issue with the X server,
so it randomly didn't start because the driver wasn't initialized at the
time X did.
In order to check this is the case, even you're not on nvidia hardware,
don't reboot, but just restart your desktop manager:
sudo service {kdm|gdm|xdm|...} restart
