I've had Konqueror do that to me a few times under KDE 3.2, Debian Unstable with Macromedia Flash (AKA Mepis with unstable updates). It only happened while running the browser and might have had something to do with ssh. Something would barf X, I assume, and it would restart, which kills your X session. Virtual terminals, remote logins, networking, server programs, the kernel itself and many other processes were unaffected. The problem has gone away with KDE 3.3 and had been greatly reduced under 3.2 before. Something killed my wife's X session just three days ago. Her machine is running Sarge. She could not remember the last time she had a crash like that and was very surprised. I was a little surprised myself. It had only been up for 18 days. Neither of us ever turns our machines off or log out. It's usually a power outage that does that for us. That happens once every 100 days on average. 18 days is very early into the cycle.
