I had this problem today, If I start Google Chrome or Chromium it logs me out of X.

uname -a gives

and I'm using propriety NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19

The Xorg.0.log showed a NULL deref in /usr/bin/Xorg. I can only guess that some of the kernel headers must have updated yesterday as it was working fine, but not enough for the nVidia driver not to work. I fixed it by rebuilding the propriety nVidia drivers. All seems to be working fine now, might be related to this so posting just in case it helps anyone.
