I had similar problems in FC2 running Gnome. Leaving the computer 
inactive with the screensaver running sometimes would log me out. 
I never figured out why, just guessed that maybe one of the GL 
screensavers somehow crashed and forced a logout.

I'm on FC3 now and the random logouts have not happened yet. For 
me, the random auto-logouts on FC2 were not associated with 
updates, and the computer actually auto-rebooted itself once, 
which was very disappointing.  I installed FC3 soon after that 
happened.

All seems well on FC3 so far, but the screen still automatically 
suspends at 20 minute intervals after a fresh boot like it did in 
FC2. After about three times, this stops. This happened in FC2, 
but not FC1 and continues in FC3 for me. I've never figured out 
how to stop it. Also, the login screen left unattended for 20 
minutes seems to mess up the display also.

Sorry to dump on your thread when I don't have any answers.

Cheers,
Kenny
