That sounds like X is crashing.. If you do CTRL-F2 (get back to X with CTRL-F6 i think.. just hit all the Fs til you find it :), you can log in outside of X. Look at your X logs in /var/log/Xorg.log.1 (i think will show the most recent crash).
if xfce4-terminal is crashing, i would guess it might be a gtk2 issue, perhaps fonts. Are there any other gnome based programs that exhibit the same symptoms? -Nikolaj > Hello, > When I try to open *xfce4-terminal* my Old Dell L600r system kills > all running applications and forces a re-login.
