You might try enabling core file collection for the X servers. On Solaris the X server (Xsun) is a setgid executable so by default it won't leave a core if it crashes, but you can use 'coreadm' to override that and have the core saved in a specific location. However, if the X server was crashing then I'd expect to see some sort of indication in the log files so maybe that's not what's happening. I presume you've checked the obvious things, like the system not exhausting its swap space? Desktop software seem to be on a never-ending quest to consume more and more memory, so if you set this machine up a while ago the user desktops might now be using a lot more memory than they used to.
