I'm a novice here - excuse me butting int, and ignore me if this isn't useful.
If I understand correctly, you have: a) The X Server receives SIGTERM and exits. b) The source of the SIGTERM is unknown (but perhaps one of the clients of the X Server). c) You can reproduce this by starting X and the console command line. What about tracing all of this with strace? e.g.: strace -fo <suitable_log_file_name> startx This will generate a vast amount of output, including the part where the X Server receives SIGTERM and exists. Hopefully, a little bit before this, you might see another process sending the SIGTERM with kill().
