So, even if it doesn't look like that, I still try to work on this problem ;)
I tried to change the drivers from "nvidia" to "nv" - but there's at least one case I know, when a PC still crashed, so it doesn't seem to be this :(
Today, I found out something funny: On a PC where X crashed as described, there were a process called "gdm-binary" (duh, I know, I missed to write down all the parameters and options). I was just killing all the non-system-processes and looking if it would change something - and really, after killing the gdm-binary X restarted itself at once, so that I didn't have to execute init 3; init 5 any more.
So the big question is - what consequences can we take out of this? Does it mean that gdm is misconfigured, or could it be anything else?

Yeah, the factors are always the point... as Germans say, "the devil is

dozen of mounted NFS shares - all the user accounts etc., from about 5
servers. Unfortunately, not to avoid... I think, the problem is the NVIDIA
driver, too - and a kinda genius who I know has the same opinion. Are there
maybe any other drivers I could try out on a GeForce 7300, except of the
proprietary from the NVIDIA page?
Btw, thanks for not throwing with things at me :-)
in the xorg.conf file ( /etc/X11)
you can try changing the driver line from:
nvidia
to
nv
like when I get a new kernel installed, and X fails, I go to xorg.conf and
change this line:
Driver "nvidia"
to this:
Driver "nv"
the restart X with
# /etc/init.d/kdm restart
you could also try vesa instead of nv
