I tried running a Debian desktop without swap and encountered the same 
symptom -- crashed desktop and return to login screen.  The solution was 
two-fold:

1.  Provision 1 GB of swap.

2.  Add Xfce panel widgets so that I can see what is going on.


Between the two, I usually have enough time to kill problem apps before 
a crash.


And, more memory would not hurt.
