I'm damned if I know why it should cause X to crash on you, especially not why it should continue to have problems after reboot. My best guess for initial problem is that a memory leak in entangle caused it to consume too much RAM, then triggering the dreaded OOM-killer, which picked X to kill, but you should have seen some indiciation of the OOM killer in your logs or console. There were certainly some nasty memory leaks in that version, which I have fixed in the very latest release, so hopefully this won't recur with 0.4.1. Let me know if it remains a problem.
