How can I tell which?

My observation is like Jake's: by the time it happens it's too late.  I 
just reflectively cmd-ctl-t all the time and have just added a cron job 
to copy my workspace every hour to /tmp.  It only happens once in a 
while, but when it does, it's a real disaster!

Crashes don't seem to have triggered it, though I only have been paying 
attention to this lately.

By the way I haven't lost all my workspaces, only the currently active 
one.

FWIW my machine has no "haxies" and in fact very few non-bundled 
applications installed, and only one (as far as I know) non-apple kext 
(for missing Sync).  Extremely generic.
