X server hangs; reboot required

I'm disappointed that the random X server hangs are still present in
FC3. (I can't find the bug in Bugzilla; I know it's there because I
think I commented on it. I wasn't the original filer.)

What happens is that X exits abruptly. The screen contains whatever
was on it at the time, but of course nothing works. It is possible to
log in and start up another X session, but when that session exits,
the screen still contains what was on it when X first exited.

With FC2 and older kernels, this kind of hang happened a half to a
dozen times a day. Now the frequency is down to 1 every other day, or
so.
