So, now I tried to do it - the menu.lst is just a link to grub.conf, so I wrote it into grub.conf, too :-) Now, it looks like this:
=========================================================
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
password --md5 'CENSORED ;-)'
title Fedora (2.6.23.14-115.fc8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.14-115.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/ splash=verbose
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.14-115.fc8.img
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/ splash=verbose
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
===========================================================
After that, I asked a few people to login and logout - at all, they repeated login/logout 13 times, and X didn't crash but bravely returned to the login screen.
But it already didn't crash so many times before... "Time will show" (c)
btw, when we're at the point as well - is there maybe something wrong in this xorg.conf?

I would really appreciate if there really were something wrong... (The graphic card is an "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1)" (source: lspci)). Is this maybe what's wrong?
