Hint: ls /var/log/Xorg*

If it bombed out while you were idle, the usual suspect is a screen
saver (a buggy one, or one finding a bug in your graphics driver).

In addition, I had a power supply go wonky that ended up being the culprit.

well, i am pretty curtain my power supply is good, but say I want to be sure
as to what caused the logout, where can I see which process \ application
triggered it?
thanks
