Difficult to say. Your desktop environment is Gnome? After such a
forced logout, can you spot anything in the X server log (typically
in your home directory, somewhere in .local/share/xorg, unless you
have an uncommon setup, and then you would know ;-)
Perhaps in /var/log/daemon.log?
Here is an old bug where a crashing screensaver would force an X
server restart:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569933
Any similarities?
Does it happen when you disable the lock screen feature in the
screen saver? When you disable the screen saver altogether?
Hope there's a useful hint in there.
Cheers
