Dear Julien and Michel, I rebuilt the xorg-server pacakge as explained, and it seems that the system noticed that I was spying it because then it did not crash for a while ;)
But as soon as I relaxed my "save every 5 minutes" policy, the bug stroke back. I logged in by ssh, but did not manage to use gdb: gslc12『~』$ cat gdb-pb gslc12『~』$ sudo gdb -p $(pidof X) Password: GNU gdb 6.4.90-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(y or n) Strangely, after this problem, Xorg became immortal : I had to reboot to get rid of it. Obviously I am doing something wrong: can you help me to find out what?
