When the X server crashes, the problem is actually located in
xserver-xorg-core (reassigning the bug). I assume you were running
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-19 or so ? Could you try xserver-xorg-core
currently in experimental (2:1.2.99.901-1) ?
Correct. I didn't know which package to assign the bug to. As to
trying the experimental version, I'm not quite comfortable with that:
this system is my main one, if it's rendered unusable I'm going to be
/very/ upset.

I'd be great to have a backtrace with debugging enabled, by rebuilding
the X server and attaching a gdb. It might be boring to do if the bug is
not easy to reproduce. But, in case you want to try, you can rebuild with:
The bug is not easy to reproduce, and again, attaching gdb to the
running X server waiting for the crash to happen is just a no-go,
given that's my main system.
I've got another bug I'm trying to pin down, this one being easier to
reproduce: if I enable a screensaver in Gnome's Screensaver panel,
most of time if I wander off long enough for the screensaver to start,
when I come back, X has been killed and I'm back to GDM prompt. I'll
see if I can force myself into doing that again to provide some info.
