OK, so I've been able to run KDE 3.1 or Gnome 2 for WEEKS with no errors like this:[snip]
When using Enlightenment 0.16 as my window manager, after 2 or 2.5 days the rastering gets HOSED.
Everything shifts into seperate primary colors, like viewing a 3D comic without the 3D glasses.

You didn't mention if you were using the Nvidia drivers or the standard XFree Geforce drivers.
I had lots of problems with memory leakage with the Nvidia drivers on a GForce2 and also an original Gforce card. If I ran the box for more than a couple of hours and let Xscreensaver run some of the OpenGL hacks it seemed to lock up after only a couple of hours. This was a hard Xserver freeze. I could usually recover if I could log in over the network and kill X. But it was a pain.
My explanation for this behavior would be that enlightenmenet was pushing on the Graphics card harder than Gnome ever has. But that isn't really a satisfying explanation because IIRC, e.16.5 doesn't really use any OpenGL acceleration.
So I don't really know how to explain your situation. However, I would be suspicious of the Nvidia drivers (not of the company, of course; they have decided that they can't give away the specs for their card and can't open the source for their drivers so they are in a real bind). I think it is really hard to get the nvidia drivers to work well on Linux. Not sure, of course.
I eventually decided I wasn't doing anything requiring 3d capabilities and bought a Matrox. Stable as a rock too.
Best of luck. Keep playing with things and try the latest NV drivers and see if that helps.
