It seems, you are right the actual problem is X-server crush (still do  
not understand why).
  Xlog.0 shows:
.......
SetGrabKeysState - disabled
SetGrabKeysState - enabled
(EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
SetGrabKeysState - disabled
SetGrabKeysState - enabled
SetGrabKeysState - disabled
.....

Don't know what does it mean.

It was first (and for sure last) time I used display manager
so X-server crush has lead to system restart (and long calculation was lost).
