If the presentation had transition effects, it'd explain the crash,
because then the cause would probably be some issue with the graphics
card acceleration and the transition effects (which are only executed
when in full screen).


When you said the system logs off, you mean you get back to a graphical
login screen? 

That *is* a x-server crash, login managers handle logouts by launching
the login screen again (in a new X session) when your X session dies.

Can you check what is your video card?
