Like TiGR wrote in comment #28, this only happens to me once on every
boot, usually a few minutes after logging in and typing something, for
instance in Pidgin. At a random press of the Enter key, X restarts
before the message I wrote is sent, meaning the key stroke never reaches
the application, as far as I understand it. By "X restarts" I mean
suddenly all running applications are killed and Ubuntu goes back to the
graphical login prompt.

Oddly enough, if Audacious was running before the crash and I relaunch
it afterwards, it warns me that another instance of itself may already
be running. Ignoring the warning allows Audacious to run properly. Maybe
a lock file of some sort the application wasn't able to release or
delete before X crashed?

This issue started happening around May or June 2011, if I recall
correctly, and never happened in previous Ubuntu versions (using 11.04
at the moment).
