X. I did the following:

1) Started X by typing startx > error.log 2>&1
2) Switched to a virtual console
3) Switched back to the console (screen?) on which X
was displayed (Console 7 in Red Hat)
4) Switched to the console from which I started X
5) Typed "startx"

One of the last lines in error.log is

xinit:  connection to X server lost.

X must have crashed when I switched consoles (and
probably failed to cleanly switch the console back to
text mode). 

Maybe I can attach gdb to X or something?
