X servers are supposed to be bulletproof.
If X crashed, you either have hit a bug in X or a bug in
your graphics card's X driver.  So the first question is:
what graphics card are you using, and did you install
a closed-source driver?  If you did, try using an open-source driver instead.

Debian Etch is still being tested, and is not released yet,
so you should probably contact the Debian developers
and report this as a bug against their X server.

You might try installing Ubuntu 06.11 on a separate partition
or hard driver, or booting it live from cd, and seeing if the problem exists
there, too.  I bet it won't, since that uses a different X server.
