Title:
  X server crashes get not recognized by apport

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  I have X crashing quite often in the last days (around once per day):
  the screen/display gets distorted for half a second, then I get back
  to the KDM login screen again.

  Unfortunately apport does not notice these crashes, maybe due to this:

  apport (pid 14883) Tue Nov  3 21:51:39 2009: Unhandled exception:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport", line 220, in <module>
      drop_privileges(pid, True)
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport", line 54, in drop_privileges
      raise ValueError, 'Invalid process ID: ' + str(e)
  ValueError: Invalid process ID: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/2206'
  pid: 14883, uid: 0, gid: 0, euid: 0, egid: 0
  environment: {}

  Is the process gone too fast? Shouldn't apport make it stay until all
  info is retrieved?
