Just to announce to the world, I solved the X instability. I had my PS2 mouse + wacom tablet combining data and sending it to X via /dev/input/mice
By chance I changed my XF86Config-4 file to split the data streams, Instability goes, rock solid debian again.
I was unsure who to e-mail since it seemed a debian-X-wacom.o problem, so apologies if it was a bit off topic. Anyhow for anyone who may find it useful, I attach my working XF86Config file ...
