Switched to gdm/Gnome as default desktop since a few days (KDE software still there).
Haven't been able to reproduce the lock up + autoreboot despite several attempts.
So this seems to somehow be related to kdm/KDE.
However, I noticed strange behaviour in Gnome too:
-USB sticks don't always get automounted (with the nautilus browser window being opened automatically and the USB icon appearing on the desktop)
-They don't get unmounted correctly when using "safely remove" (I have /media/usb* directories left in /media)
