I had a similar problem a few years ago and I realized I was intending
to press one key sequence in emacs (I think CTRL-K) and was accidentally
pressing something else (probably CTRL-L), which my window manager at
the time had defaulted to logout. When I finally figured it out, I
reprogrammed my window manager to not log me out with any keystroke.
