REPRODUCE:
Open http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/04/30/1822237.shtml click on the "One comment" link (or go directly to
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4986#comment:272 )
If page opens then scroll it up/down for a moment.

In few seconds entire X crashes, always (and user is back at login screen)

Happened also on Xgl (but also without Xgl).

I seen some similar bug reports, but afaik none about entire X reset.
