2 instances of X
I just realized this a few minutes ago, and it seems odd to me, heres a copy of my ps -e.

4417 pts/1 00:00:00 psAs you can see 4266 and 4272 are both X, I don't know why this is happening, I tried restarting but it still makes 2 instances. I don't recall having this happen in Debian, so I'm guessing something isn't set up correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2 instances of X
From what I remember there were some people having the same problem and it was related to their graphic card and its module.

Re: 2 instances of X
Nothing to worry about, then.
Has been there for some time, I have it too and my laptop didn't explode yet. 
Bye, signorRossi.
