What video card does the box have? I ask because some report with using 
an Intel 865G mentioned a similar problem.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211712

I was looking for a signal 11 problem and was using an 865G video card. 
I had a problem with xscreensavers and did not try to change from 
ctl-alt-F1 back to ctl-alt-F7 until the next day. Both my screensavers 
were working fine, no new updates were applied since noticing the signal 
11 exit. I did run system-config-display --reconfig and got a new 
xorg.conf which showed neither the xscreensaver error 11 or putting me 
back to the user screen.
In short, here is an open bug report. It does not happen to me after 
s-c-display was ran. Te video card is one that I have a system running 
with, which now does not exhibit any errors.
