 B2, 385/Q2C01, I hadthreethings running -- ssh out from pts/1, plus web,
 plus Read spawned from web by a pdf download.  I'd just visited
 schneier.com/log/ and clicked thru toa story about a navy contractor
 athack of spaces -- andi can'tcopy andpaste the %$#&* URL here).
 Ifinished scrollingthru itand readingit and hit the backbutton.  X
 insstantly died.  it popped me back totheterminal emulator of pts/1 (my
 ssh).  I tried goingbackwith ctrl-alt-f3 but there wa just a text cursor
 inthe upper leftcornr.
 On pts/2 i a login prompt.  But x came bak on pts/4. I'm typing to it now.

 I checked dmesg and there's no OOM. Something else made X die.  i'm
 pluggedintowall power andthe battery  iswell charged.

Comment:

 us a better description?
