Boom, my spouse touched the computer

[Sean Bruno]

Always a fun time when I let my better half, have-at the 'puter for a
while.  I went out for a bit only to get a phone call that "the computer
stopped working."

Asking her some more specific questions, she relayed to me that the
graphical "stuff" wasn't responding(moving the mouse did not move the
mouse cursor).  About the time that this happened, this strange error
appeared:

Apr 23 18:22:27 homebox kernel: NVRM: Xid: 13, 0001 02006100 0000008a
00001c04 00000000 00004000

I am using the CLOSED SOURCE Nvidia module, so I thought maybe that this
had something to do with it.  A little later, gdm takes a nap:

Apr 23 18:42:53 homebox gconfd (sean-3652): Received signal 15, shutting
down cleanly
Apr 23 18:42:54 homebox gdm[3545]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X
error - Restarting :0

And then she can resume her work(although her windows needed
restarting).  

Any ideas here?  Is this an Nvidia issue, or is this something else?
