Ben,
I have a clue, but don't know if it is what you need.  This same thing 
happened to me and I found myself resetting X all the time with the 
shift-backspace keystrokes.

What I found was that I had chosen a keyboard that was incompatible with 
my keyboard.  Running sax2 and letting it go with the pc-104 keyboard 
fixed things.  I had been using a Logitech keyboard previously and 
changed, but did not change the settings.
