I have the same on both of my systems and also occasionally see X just
up and go away. It usually happens with Adobe Reader. I also have
problems with GL screen savers - especially now that I have Desktop
Effects with some compiz customizations enabled.

This sounds like a problem with the Livna RPM versions. Are you going to
bugzilla there? If not, I can...

Cheers,

Chris
