"kill -9 -1" should just kill all her processes, even the Xsession that she owns, and restart X. I would restart your manager (xdm, gdm) just to be sure.
While you have your gnome locked, you could check what is running and if any process is defunct at console, so you would know wich app and/or gnome process caused the problem. I would bet in hardware issues like anyone before, but only if that happened to all accounts randomly (bad memory, processor overheated, faulty disk, etc), but as it only happens to her account, you must check software, and I bet (of course) Gnome. Try switching manager for her (KDE, Fluxbox, any) and see if it happens there too. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
