Getting thrown out of your desktop environment probably indicates the core
problem is outside of Yocto -- this is still a fine place to discuss the
issue, just pointing it out. You could keep an eye on 'top' sorted by %MEM
while doing a build: my theory here is that something (like the monstrous
amount of IO) that the build does could trigger a desktop component to do
something stupid that cascades into your desktop shell exiting/crashing.
This could show up as something using more and more memory at some point
during the build.

Hope this helps, sorry for lack of definitive answers,
