That was the first place I looked. The first entry is a turnover of the log, at 20:00 on November 14. The next entry is the boot-up sequence after the mysterious reboot, three days later. Nothing in between. The only other unexpected reboot I've had was in KDE, which I tried to change fonts. As a result, I wrote off KDE and am no longer using X. (As it was, KDE froze or misbehaved several times in just a few hours, and I really don't see the point in trying to work with anything that laden with bugs.)
