This message is from fvwm. It is printed just before it exits. This is probably what's causing your X to die. It is attempting to open a file in /tmp called fvwmrcXXXXXX (with the Xs filled in with some stuff to make it unique). Only, the file probably already exists. Make sure no-one is using fvmw, and delete all /tmp/fvmwrc* files/directories, and try again. Then again, it may just be an old error message that got left over from a previous session. *shrug*.
