[Possible Workaround]
Dell Inspiron 1100 -intel 82845G/GL (on Lucid 10.04)
[Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)]

Hacked at this for several days now.  Been working mainly in gnome-
terminal & firefox for more than 12 hours straight w/out a single crash.
I think I have a workaround from a fresh apt-get dist-upgrade at 6AM
this morning.  These are the only changes I've made:

Reinstalled xulrunner (might not matter) ...
apt-get install --reinstall xulrunner-1.9.2
apt-get install --reinstall xulrunner-1.9.2-gnome-support
apt-get remove xulrunner-1.9.1

Added to xorg.conf under Monitor0 (might not matter) ...
HorizSync    31.5-48.5
VertRefresh  59-75

added to grub ...
video=LVDS-1:e video=VGA-1:d i915.modeset=0

Turned off Screen Saver and Power Management

And finally ... the big workaround ...

Removed the >>> Shockwave Flash <<< plugin from Firefox 3.6.3.

firefox-bin was flooding .session-errors ... since removing flash, very
few firefox-bin errors.  I'm still getting random .xsession-errors from
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent, gnome-terminal, firefox-bin,
rhythmbox ... but 12 hours straight uptime is pretty good compared to
the immediate X startup crash.

Regardless of the .xsession-errors, there's no observable system
degradation.  I'll report back if I crash ... fingers crossed.

Still looking forward to a fix for all those .xsession-errors.

Hope this helps,

Mike
