It happened to me about a week ago, where I was viewing a page with IE6 in Wine. It froze; I could not get any console windows, and then it just rebooted. I'd bet that was X11. I've had quite some issues with that over the last six months or so, likely because I use dual monitors in Xinerama and the nVidia driver.
hm, I just had this too, every time I try to start UnrealEd2 with wine and Xorg just exits (Signal 11).
Used to work fine ...
