In most set ups, it's not easy to tell whether X has crashed or the window manager has crashed. You can use an application like xconsole to hold the session instead of the window manager so that you can tell the difference. It's not something for a beginning user through. To figure out whether X has crashed, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. See if you can find anything that indicates that it crashed. -- Dan Espen
