Hi Andreja,
	I had the same problem repeatedly with the combo you mentioned. I
kept getting a CATCH SIG 11 which normally implies a memory/overclocking 
error. I thought it this was quite possible (I have a P133 running at 188)
but since swithcing to kde I have had no problems.

I also used standard enlightenment (instead of gnome) but that suffered
the same fate. I think that it may be enlightenment causing X to crash.
Solution - switch window managers :)

Overall I think redhat 5.2 had a higher stability. (Then again it could be
the 2.3 development kernels - Nah!)

Cheers,
