I have just confirmed that my X server still crashes with 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu2. The usual scenario is:

1. I watch a DVD using totem-xine
2. I close totem-xine
3. I suspend the laptop using Fn+F4
4. I go to sleep
5. In the morning, I resume the laptop using the power button
6. The screen flickers and I am presented with the gdm login screen, rather than my session (with the old X server having mysteriously vanished)

Today, I ran a suspend/resume stress test using the script in checkbox, but it completed successfully with no crashes. I've also tried suspending the system after running totem-xine (which works reliably), and even while totem-xine is running (the latter fails to go to sleep at all, but gracefully). I am still looking for a way to trigger this crash which does not require waiting overnight. Any guesses or suggestions would be appreciated.
