thanks for the responses. i was out of town for a while. i don't believe CTRL-D was the cause. i'm not sure if X is restarting or not. it is not obvious how to figure that out. i think it is a distinct possibility that a program is crashing, but how do i find out which program is crashing? i'm using gdm by the way.
i'm using gnome now and the problem hasn't occured. it could be specific to fluxbox. thanks, aravind.
