that's what it looks like. X I/O fatal error is e's x connection being killed
off. that is most likely because the Xserver crashed. check your X logs. it
might bein the Xorg.0.log.old - also double check Xorg.1.log - maybe your
display manager runs 2 xservers. i have seen this with gdm these days i think,
so display is :1 not :0.

WTF? That has never been a requirement. Type=Application has always worked and
no one has every defined that it MUST be of Type=XSession ...
