There is always one more bug, especially in X...

If X crashes like that, it can either be your window manager
or the X server itself that crashed.

If it's the X server itself, you'll find some information in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

If that files says that the X server exited normally, then it's your
window manager. It should be easier to get a stack trace from its core
file.

If it's the X server that crashes, see /usr/xenocara/README for some
debugging hints.
