Am guessing you're not actually being logged out (ie you don't see the 
logout screen) but everything just goes black and then the login screen 
appears? What graphics card do you use? Are you trying to run a 3d 
screensaver? It would seem to me to be indicative of a broken OpenGL chunk 
somewhere...
