Do you mean that these boxes are available on the internet, with VNC?

It won't have anything to do with your crashes, but it's not a very good idea. 
VNC is totally unencrypted, and should not be used on unprotected networks 
such as the Internet

Is someone logged in at the time of the crash, or is it just the kdm/gdm login 
screen? It might help to look at the log file for the display manager you're 
using

It  might also be useful to enable coredumps for the X server. I *think* you 
can do this by adding the line "ulimit -c unlimited" to the /etc/init.d/xdm 
start script, and restarting the display manager with rcxdm stop; rcxdm start

I say I think that's how you do it. By that I mean that's how you normally do 
it. I'm just not sure if it will work for X, since it's multiple processes 
starting there. But I think it will work.

Once you have the core file, it can be investigated.

You can, for example, open a bug at bugzilla.novell.com, to get someone to 
look at it
