Wow! Spoke too soon :-) It happened again as I was talking to someone.
Screensaver was running, I moved the mouse and got the 'unlock' box.
Entered my password, and it just crashed, and I ended up with the login
screen.
In my daemon log (I filter saemon stuff to a seperate log file) I can
see:
Jun 7 16:46:59 jhorne abrt[11255]: saved core dump of pid 6605

So it does look like Xorg is crashing.
John.
