Disturbingly similar to my machine.

Not very similar at all... ;)
* First off - and I'm sure you've done this - check to see if your machine
isn't rebooting out of the blue.
Doubtful, but worth checking... I always forget to check those sorts of
problems first (like when things go weird and there happens to be no
space left on my drive... duh!)
* Read ~/.xsession-errors to see if anything strange is going on (like X
shutdowns).
* Is xscreensaver running? Try disabling it to see if that's the culprit.
* Tell us when you find out. :)

I'm just getting as much experience with it as I can so I can start slipping
in GNOME machines everywhere I work. GNOME 1.4/2.0 promises a much better
desktop environment both from the user and administrator's perspectives than
the Other OS.
I'm seriously wondering if I should start buying up X terminals too... ;)
