Windowserver crashing
What happens? All my applications are terminated unexpectedly, and I'm presented with the Apple Login Screen.
I have since upgraded to 10.6.5 and OS X still crashes according to the log entries I found under Console. (I have the reports saved if anyone ahem cough cough looking at Apple Tech Support, hopefully they are looking here...)
This problem occurs regardless if I have Spaces enabled or not. I did a search of the forums and found one other person who is getting the same error messages as me:
This problem is starting to happen often.
