I haven't found a way to reproduce it, but I've noticed that it happens
more often while exiting an application, at least On My Box At Home_TM
which is curious, as the setup is identical to the box I'm using here.
Apart from that, WM takes X11 along with it about every two crashes out
of ten... :-P
According to the log WM dumps to the console (I start X11 via startx),
it's lost the signal (handler) to restart itself (see previous mail).
