I am still having repeated failures with this (using MATE as my

Can anybody suggest a reason/cure?
Xorg - your main display program keeps crashing.
Why ?
I would guess that a driver update doesn't play well with your hardware
- either your graphics "card" or trackpad are the most likely.
There could also be a mismatch between kernel and video driver.
I've never used abrt, but it exists to gather together the information
necessary to debug problems like this.
I would start with:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__developer.fedoraproject.org_tools_abrt_about.html&d=DwIBAg&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=XsIrcSez_VGLuHy_jGgXrYazHSxji0Zyu2dpSBLuO7I&s=EaKPT-pzJIcETldXTHwwJALwMCmRai9cg_9uQeI3TYM&e=
The detailed docs appear to be at:

I don't know whether it would be safe to put one of these abrt files
or emails on the web for us to assist you* or whether they include
information which could be personal compromise security
(they sound too big to email to the list).
