The Xorg.0.log file was from after the KDM restart. I have included complete Xorg.0.log and kdm.log captured before KDM restart.
The file gdbXorg.txt contains the gdb info. I haven't used gdb before, so  I am not sure if the info displayed is what you where looking fore. I did the following:
1. attach gdb to running X process.
2. issued gdb command c (continue).3. Logged out of kde.4. Issued gdb continue command every time a new signal was caught.5. Used ctrl-c to get the gdb prompt once X fell to rest.6. Used bt to get the trace.
Let me know me know if I messed up with the info.
