I can only help by reporting that this has happened about 4 times with me. My 
notebook, a Dell Latitude D800, runs all the time. On 3 or 4 occassions, I 
get up and in the morning and when I open up my laptop, the X server has 
crashed. There are no errors in the messages file. This is only a nominal 
issue since it rarely happens, but when it does, it is very annoying as I 
have about 15 shells open at any given time editing C source code. Hope 
someone has some insight as to why this happens. By the way, I'm running 
RedHat WS 3.
