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.
