What I did to catch it, was to ssh into the machine from another one,
and then run gdb -p <pid of X>, and (since it stops X) continue it.
You obviously can't do this from an xterm on the same X server but it
can probably work as well from a text console (well, if the switching to
the console works, I'm not 100% sure).
