For debugging: make sure you have the debug and xdebug sets installed.
Make the system accessible via ssh. When the problem happens again:
from another machine ssh in, pgrep for the X server, use gdb -p to attach
to it and get a backtrace.

"ssh in" won't work - the machine is non-responsive to network.   :(

Also, unfortunately, the only "other machine" I have is a Windoze laptop; I doubt that it would be a suitable place on which to run the "gdb -p" command.
