well, I am only basing that theory on the fact that x is not crashing
when you first open it, but later on, perhaps by something running in
the background.

one thing that *might* give you more info is if you send all X output to
a text file. to do this, you must start x manually from text mode (ie.
runlevel 3), like so:

kde > ~/xoutput.txt

that way you might see the actual error when it occurs. of course this
is the same thing that would come up on TTY1, but that is usually off
the screen by the time you crash out to text mode, and I am not sure
that the X log will record everything that happens, anyone else know
whether it does or not?

also look in /var/log/messages for errors that may be less related to X,
but could potentially crash it.
