Ex,
I've been looking at a file called .xsessio-errors, there's been varying messages. For one of the user accounts there was a message that the xscreensaver wasn't running on dispaly 0.0 and could be restarted using xset. I checked that out and found out xset runs the screensaver that blanks the screen and such, if your hardware supports it. I'm thinking that I just have a cheap video card (I bought it at a show a couple years back, when I put this machine together just as a learning experience) so I'm thinking the video card just doesn't like having the screen blanked, another message I had in the .xsession-errors was that xserver had disconnected from display 0.0 (kill or shutdown), and also there's been times when the file has a continuous string of "^@" symbols at the bottom. These symbols are in one continuous line that takes up 4 or 5 screen lines. Each time the GUI crashes I have to clean the Filesystems, and once I even had to remove the user's account and rename new account differently. I may have to do that again with another account that had the GUI crash last night, after I cleaned the FS and removed the core file, I couldn't login to the KDE environment with that username, mine worked fine.
Thanks for the advice, I think I'll try disabling it in Linuxconf.
