I am having spontaneous logouts while I am in Snow Leopard. This is happening a couple times a day and it is very annoying. When it logs out it instantly goes to a blue screen and then the login screen appears. When I log back in all my apps have quit and it is like I am logging in for the first time. I did have this happen in Leopard too, but very rarely.
Here are some facts that may help:
MacBookPro5,1
Bluetooth on : apple mouse, keyboard
Network, wired ethernet
Connected to external monitor via mini display port.
All software patches up to date.
Anybody else experience this problem? Any suggestions.
This issue is very serious as many machines using 10.6.X and MS Entourage 2004 have this random logout issue. I can't use snow leopard because it can't be trusted to not just trash all my work and instantly log out. All 351 machine under my custody cannot use Snow Leopard at all because they all have office 2004.
I removed Growlr because it was filling my syslog with memory leak errors, and the fix for it is still in alpha. I moved the MS mouse and keyboard drivers into my work account prefPanes folder from the global one as that's where those devices are used, and several people report problems related to those. I cleaned out some old prefs and things but that probably had little to do with it. I can't say it's fixed, but I haven't encountered problems recently. I did use Photoshop for a while the other evening at home. Keeping my fingers crossed...
I'm using a different Rosetta app, and I am experiencing spontaneous logouts while using this app on two different machines: a Macbook Air and a Mac Pro.
Experienced two kernel panics (full crash, not blue screen logout) today at work. I was using saving a document in BBEdit 9.2.1 (2532) both times. I don't know why it says the interval since last report was 7sec since the crashes occurred 6 hours apart. I have a corded MS keyboard and a bluetooth MS mouse at work, and as a result moved the prefPanes to my work login's Library folder. That might explain why the crashes seem to have gone away (knock on wood) at home. But I really need the buttons to work on the mouse... maybe I can use third-party drivers. Or it seems like someone mentioned updated MS drivers... I've had more kernel panics since upgrading to 10.6 than in the year or more I've owned this laptop. 😟
Interval Since Last Panic Report: 7 sec
Panics Since Last Report: 1

Stu, check if the _"Log out after 'NN' minutes of inactivity"_ preference is checked at:
System Preferences -> Security -> General
That was somehow set to me to 15 minutes and the logouts were happening every time I left the computer alone. Just unchecked it and the problem vanished.
I am having this same problem and I am pretty sure it has something to do with older applications that require the Rosetta. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard I did not install the Rosetta option, knowing that if it was needed it would be downloaded and installed. The first time I launched Filemaker Pro. version 7 I was prompted that I would need Rosetta and asked it I wanted to have it installed, which I did. Within a few minutes of Rosetta being installed and Filemaker Pro 7 launching I had the problem and have had it almost every time I've use Filemaker. I have not had the problem after a restart until Filemaker is launched. I don't know if Rosetta starts up when the OS starts up or until needed.
It seems pretty clear that it is related to Rosetta on Snow Leopard! HELP!!!
I, too, had the blue screen & drop back to login screen crash. Was using FileMaker Pro7 at the time & pressed the key to switch fields. Console showed WindowServer crash. Does anyone know if Apple has any intention of fixing this apparently widespread Rosetta app/WidowServer crash issue?
This happens to me on a variety of apps running under Rosetta. I can mimic it by force quitting WindowServer in Activity Monitor. It happens on keystrokes. But only when I have external display connected.
Thanks for offer Dave, but I think the only option for me now is to wait for Apple to fix this (hoping that there's enough fuss over this they will pay attention). If they don't do so soon, I shall be forced back to Leopard. Meanwhile I am resorting to no external display, which seems to work for me.
Same behavior here. Only crashes in Photoshop CS (which is my only Rosetta app,) only on Keystrokes, only when external monitor is plugged in. But, I don't use Photoshop much without the external monitor, so take that bit with a grain of salt.
