Nothing really interesting there. Just:

but 18:01:24 seems to be when I asked to restart gdm.

Nothing more in the rest of the "/var/log/Xorg.x.log" files?

Note that I do not think that X crashed entirely. I just mean that the
screen was looking like frozen, but screensaver was still moving...
slowly, or sometimes really slowly.

Next time it happens, go to a tty and type "top" to list the processes in
use. Sort the table by CPU cycles and/or memory use. The slowness could
be caused by a "rampant" program consuming a lot of resources.
