Your logs don't show any evidence of anything crashing here. Could you describe the actual behaviour you're experiencing?

I get same error messages in :0-greeter.log and a strange thing has started for couple of days now in Karmic:
When boot starts, while usplash is on and I see the usplash ubuntu image, I hear the gdm login sound but all the login UI elements are not visible. I have to go in a terminal and restart gdm (usually 2 or 3 times) in order to see any input element in the greeter. Perhaps a gdm bug instead?
Besides that I started to get random X crashes while working. Don't use compiz just metacity compositing and an nvidia card.

@ Chris Coulson

No special apps running, just FIrefox, Thunderbird, and a gnome-terminal. I also have conky forked to background. And I get random X crashes while working.
