Hmmm, I have a similar message on one of my boxes, but it doesn't happen after 
a while on its own, instead always exactly the moment an USB device is 
plugged in.

USB keeps working afterwards, so I didn't bother searching for the reason.

I don't run Xwindows, though, the box hosts some database + webserver domains.

Server is 2xXeon in EM64T mode with HT enabled, 8GB ram.
