[newbie] Lixus just crashed

[blinddog]

Bizarre thing just happened, I was going thru news and my screens just 
disappeared and I was deposited at the logon propmt, my CD kept playing, my 
interenet connection remained and I just logged back in.

I was running 
KDE2
Kmail
Netscape 4.75
PAN newsreader
Cd player
Internet login script
and run Linux 7.2

Has anyone else had an experience like this? Any ideas?
